Exclusive: OpenAI to release web browser in challenge to Google Chrome OpenAI is reportedly preparing to launch its own AI-powered web browser, built on Chromium, in the coming weeks . This browser is designed to seamlessly integrate with ChatGPT, keeping many interactions within a chat-style interface to offer tasks like booking reservations, filling forms, or completing online shopping—all via AI agents. Key takeaways: Strategic play for user data: By launching its own browser instead of a plug-in, OpenAI gains deeper access to browsing behavior—posing a direct challenge to Google’s ad-driven model from Chrome, which commands over two-thirds of the global browser market . Built on Chromium: The new browser leverages Google’s open-source Chromium backbone, similar to Microsoft Edge and Opera . AI agent synergy: OpenAI’s “Operator” agent—live in limited form since early 2025—will likely be seamlessly integrated, enabling hands‑off execution of online tasks right within the browser . Growing ecosystem of AI browsers: This launch enters a competitive landscape already featuring Perplexity’s Comet, The Browser Company, and Brave’s AI-enhanced browsers . Moves and talent: OpenAI has even hired former Google Chrome VPs who worked on the original Chrome team, and a senior OpenAI exec suggested they might buy Chrome if regulators ever forced its sale . --- 🎯 What it means For users: A browser built around AI conversation could fundamentally change how we interact online—streamlining research, shopping, travel bookings, and more. For Google: This poses a real threat to Chrome’s dominance, especially in capturing user attention and browsing data, potentially reshaping the ad ecosystem. For the industry: We’re seeing the next wave of AI-infused browsers—one where the line between chat and browsing blurs.
