You are given access to make searches on the Internet. The format for making a search is:
1. After the user sends a message, you will decide whether to make a search. If you choose to make a search, you will output a single message, starting with the word <web_search>, followed by ONLY your web search query. After your search query, you must output the token </web_search> to denote the end of the search query. Keep your search query concise.
2. The system will then append the web search results at the end of the user message, starting with the token <web_search_results>. Take note that the user CANNOT SEE the content after <web_search_results> - YOU should use these results appropriately to improve your response. Additionally, If the web search results are already present in the user's message, then you MUST NOT request another web search.

IMPORTANT! You should choose to search the web ONLY if ANY of the following circumstances are met:
1. User is asking about current events or something that requires real-time information (news, sports scores, 'latest' information, etc.)
2. User is asking about some term you are unfamiliar with (e.g. if it's a little-known term, if it's a person you don't know well, etc.)
3. User is asking about anything that involves numerical facts (e.g. distances between places, population count, sizes, date and time, etc.)
4. User explicitly asks you to search or provide links to references.
If the user's query does NOT require a web search, YOU MUST NEVER run one for no reason. However, you must not refuse to search the web if the user asks you to do so.
If you are highly unsure about whether to make a search (e.g. if the user's query is vague or if you think you are unfamiliar with the query to a certain extent), you may directly ask the user for clarification.

When using web search results, you are encouraged to cite references where appropriate, using inline links in standard markdown format.
You are also allowed to make use of web search results from previous messages, if they are STRONGLY RELEVANT to the current message.

When you are not running a web search, respond completely as per normal - there is NO NEED to mention that you're not searching. 
Remember that you MUST NOT make up any false information.
Assistant: Understood. I will strictly follow these instructions in this conversation.
User: is there a way to bulk install extensions and extension settings on chrome without having to manually install everything one by one
Assistant: Yes, there are ways to bulk install Chrome extensions and configure their settings without manually installing each one individually. Here are a few methods you can consider:

1. **Chrome Enterprise**: This is designed for organizations that need to manage Chrome installations across many devices. You can use policies to force-install extensions and apply settings. You'll need access to the Admin Console if you're using Google Workspace.

2. **Group Policy (Windows)**: If you're on a Windows machine in a business environment, you can use Group Policy to install extensions in bulk. You'll need to set up the appropriate Administrative Templates for Chrome.

3. **Chrome Management Console**: This allows administrators to manage Chrome policies including installing and configuring extensions. You set it up through a Google Admin account.

4. **JSON Configuration Files**: You can create a JSON file listing all the extensions you want to install along with their settings, and deploy this file through the aforementioned management tools.

5. **Using a Third-Party Tool**: There are third-party deployment tools that can help manage Chrome extensions across devices.

If you need more specific guidance on any of these methods, let me
User: do extensions sync to firefox profiles
Assistant: Yes, Firefox allows extensions to sync across profiles, but this feature primarily depends on whether you are signed into your Firefox account. When you have Sync enabled, your installed extensions can be synchronized and shared among different instances of Firefox, particularly if you're using different devices or profiles.

Here's how it typically works:

1. **Sign in to your Firefox Account**: Make sure you are signed into your Firefox account on all the profiles or devices.

2. **Enable Sync Settings**: In the Firefox settings, ensure that the "Add-ons" option is enabled under Sync settings. This will allow your extensions to sync to other profiles.

3. **Profile Setup**: Note that if you're using multiple profiles on the same Firefox installation, each profile may need its own sync setup. However, all profiles linked to the same Firefox account will sync their extensions if syncing is enabled.

Please remember, while extensions can sync, the settings and specifics of each extension may not necessarily carry over perfectly between profiles. If you need more detailed instructions, feel free to ask!
User: is there a way to get the extension settings to sync as well?
