According to Reuters, OpenAI is getting ready to release its own AI-powered web browser in the next weeks, which will put it in a position to compete directly with Google Chrome's market share. As OpenAI seeks to extend its impact beyond AI tools and chatbots into the way people use and engage with the internet, this move is a notable step.

What will the browser look like?

In contrast to the majority of browsers, which only serve as a portal to websites, OpenAI's new browser is anticipated to integrate artificial intelligence into the surfing experience. The goal is to maintain certain user interactions within a ChatGPT-style chat interface, which would enable users to complete activities like making reservations, completing forms, or obtaining web page summaries without ever leaving the browser window. This might make browsing seem more like a conversation and less like a sequence of tabs and clicks.

Chromium, the open-source code that underpins Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera, is used to create the browser. For someone interested in trying something new, this implies that the transition will be less scary since it will be compatible with the same websites and extensions that consumers are currently used to. Former Google executives who helped create Chrome have even been hired by OpenAI.

The direct access that this browser will provide OpenAI to user data, in addition to its AI capabilities, is what distinguishes it from other browsers. One of the primary reasons Google values Chrome so much is its capacity to gather data about how people use the web. It has helped the business target its ads and maintain its search engine as the default option for billions of users. OpenAI is attempting to access this same stream of knowledge by creating its own browser. Eventually, it might be used to enhance its AI's intelligence and personalization for its users.

The stakes for Google and OpenAI

With more than 3 billion users, Google Chrome now controls more than two-thirds of the worldwide browser market. Chrome is not just a browser for Google; it is a critical component of its advertising industry and a significant traffic source for its search engine. Even a portion of ChatGPT's 500 million weekly users might be drawn to OpenAI's browser, which would begin to erode Google's market share and endanger a key component of its income.

The goals of OpenAI extend beyond browsers. The company's intention to become a significant force in both hardware and software is signaled by its recent purchase of an AI devices business headed by Apple's former design director. OpenAI may integrate its AI agents more seamlessly into everyday life by managing the browser, allowing them to perform activities for users and learn useful information along the way.

With other AI-first browsers like Perplexity's Comet and Brave also making moves, the rivalry in the browser market is becoming increasingly fierce. It remains to be seen if OpenAI's new browser will truly alter the way people browse the web, but its introduction will undoubtedly disrupt a market that has long been controlled by a small number of technological titans.
