The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.

OpenAI is taking on Google Chrome with its own web browser - but will it make you dumber? - Researchers have raised concerns that reliance on artificial intelligence reduces critical thinking skills

The browser wars could be about to heat up in a big way, with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI apparently set to launch its own web browser in the coming weeks. According to Reuters, that could put significant pressure on Google Chrome and potentially “fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.”

If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

Designed to make it easier to use AI to interact with the web as a whole, the browser will also be used to harvest more user data.

A new tool turns otherwise legitimate extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox into bots that make your browser someone else's tool, and gets them paid in the process.

OpenAI is reportedly developing an AI-powered web browser integrated with ChatGPT, aiming to challenge Google Chrome and transform how users search and interact online.
