"OpenAI announced Tuesday it is launching a ChatGPT-powered web browser called Atlas that will compete directly with widely-used Google Chrome. The news appeared to ripple into the stock market, as the share price of Google's parent company, Alphabet, sank on the announcement. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called it a "rare, once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be about and how to use one.""
"OpenAI made ChatGPT Atlas available worldwide on macOS Tuesday, and versions for Windows iOS and Android are coming soon, according to the company's announcement. Mac users can download Atlas and drag it into the Applications folder. To launch the browser, open Atlas and sign in with one's ChatGPT account information. Users will then see prompts asking if they would like to import data from other browsers, allow keychain access, enable "browser memories," or make Atlas the default browser."
OpenAI launched Atlas, a ChatGPT-powered web browser positioned to compete directly with Google Chrome. The announcement coincided with a drop in Alphabet’s share price. OpenAI described Atlas as a "rare, once-a-decade opportunity to rethink what a browser can be about and how to use one." ChatGPT has surpassed 800 million users while remaining free; a widely adopted browser could generate advertising revenue. OpenAI previously signaled interest in acquiring Chrome if required by regulators, but a judge rejected a forced sale, citing AI-driven competitive changes. Atlas is available worldwide on macOS with Windows, iOS and Android versions forthcoming. Installation requires signing in and setting preferences, including optional "browser memories" that let ChatGPT recall visited pages and personalize searches.
