Watch Out, Google: OpenAI to Release Web Browser to Rival Chrome
Briefly

OpenAI is preparing to launch its first web browser soon, aimed at challenging the dominance of Google Chrome. The browser will reportedly incorporate an AI agent named Operator to assist users by automating repetitive tasks like filling forms and creating memes. Perplexity AI has also introduced a competing browser called Comet, which focuses on user assistance through a chat interface for various tasks. Collectively, these new browsers could impact user data collection and challenge Google’s advertising business model, given the popularity and active user bases of ChatGPT and Perplexity's offerings.
OpenAI plans to debut its first web browser in the coming weeks, directly challenging Google Chrome, which has nearly 70% of worldwide market share.
OpenAI's new browser aims to enhance online search through an AI agent called Operator, which automates repetitive tasks for users.
Perplexity AI also entered the market with its browser, Comet, focusing on task automation and user assistance via both chat and voice requests.
Both OpenAI and Perplexity aim to collect user data through their browsers, potentially diminishing Google's advertising-driven business model.
