OpenAI is reportedly developing its own AI-powered web browser, posing a potential challenge to Google Chrome. More details here.

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.

OpenAI is rolling out an AI-powered web browser soon that may change how we surf the internet—and put major pressure on Google Chrome's dominance.

While Google has started to look into AI in its browser (as seen by AI overviews) it has yet to adopt anything quite like OpenAI or Perplexity. However, while it is a major change to the world of AI, it could also be a risky one and a move that companies need to get right, giving AI a lot of freedom over finacials and data.

OpenAI is planning to release its own web browser in the coming weeks, featuring ChatGPT as the default search engine and the Operator AI agent.
