OpenAI Launches ChatGPT Atlas, Its Own AI Browser

OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, an AI-powered web browser designed to handle online navigation, research, and automation through natural language.
The move sparks debate over whether it’s time to ditch Safari or Chrome — but early testers aren’t convinced.
According to TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Atlas offers only a “slight efficiency gain,” with users often watching the AI “click around on a website” instead of truly streamlining tasks.
Security concerns also remain, but OpenAI’s deep funding gives it time to refine the agentic web experience.
