The browser wars are back, this time powered by artificial intelligence

Share

The browser wars are gaining momentum again, this time with artificial intelligence at the helm.

OpenAI has just launched Atlas, a ChatGPT-based browser that allows users to surf the web using natural language and even includes an “agent mode” that can perform tasks autonomously. It’s one of the biggest browser launches in recent memory, but it debuts with an unresolved security flaw that could expose passwords, emails and sensitive data.

Watch Max Zeff, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane describe the launch of Atlas, the broader wave of alternative browsers, the AWS outage that ruined much of the Internet, and more weekly startup and tech news on the Equity TechCrunch podcast.
