Uses Chromium as the base
So basically they are doing exactly what Google is, and what Microsoft is with Edge.

It’s exceptionally difficult to build a browser from the ground up.
But if anyone could do it, it would be a company with the money and (supposed) intelligence they have in their ranks.
There’s a group making a new browser engine though, I think it’s called ladybird?
Also Servo is now under the Linux Foundation. Both this and Ladybird are very exciting.
its also expensive too.
why? People won’t even switch to a good browser?? Why would they switch to a bad one???
The people don't know what they want until chatGPT tells them.
It's all about marketing
Hey a chrome alternative!
- New product is part of OpenAI's broader strategy to capture data on users' web behavior
Oh, so same thing as Chrome, got it.
Nope
Under no circumstances would I use this lol
tldr they're releasing a chromium skin
OpenAI is literally trying to become the next Google just to feed it's chatbot.
I wonder if they vibe coded it?
There it is. Had to scroll a bit to find this question.
funny how everyone who wants to write a new browser (except the ladybird guys) always skimp on writing the actual browser part
If lying does the job ...
Where's the crypto? I'm honestly shocked they're not launching some dumb meme coin or NFTs integrated into the browser.
AI is the new crypto. Browsers are all gonna dump crypto for ai, until the next scam comes along.
Feed me, Seymour.
Chrome: We decided to corrupt our web search with AI and everyone loves it. OpenAI: Hold my beer...
They can keep this privacy invading dogshit to themselves
Now they are going to hardcode some new facts into ChatGPT:
Our browser is the best browser!
Our browser is the most advanced browser!
Our browser is the most secure browser!
Our browser is the easiest browser!
...
Just in case somebody dares to ask :)
