If you open it up in Chrome, then first off the main search bar in the middle of the screen turns into a button to install the extension.

There remains a search bar in the upper left hand corner of the screen, but if you actually search, no search results are given. Instead the result page is replaced by a link to install the Chrome extension. So effectively, as far as I can tell, on a normal Chrome browsing session there is no way to actually use the search functionality without installing the extension.

This does not seem to happen on other browsers or in incognito mode.

And now it also doesn't happen in Chrome anymore. We dropped the requirement there too.
I'm glad to hear it! Time to take it for another spin.
