OpenAI’s Atlas promises AI-powered convenience. The price? Letting ChatGPT track and store “memories” of what you do online.

Yesterday, OpenAI launched its ChatGPT Atlas browser—a supposedly reimagined web browser that actually looks a lot more like a forked version of Chromium with a chatbot bolted on—in an effort to redefine the way that people navigate the internet.

OpenAI needs a web browser if it's going to be truly useful. So Sam Altman will have a big job on his hands to convince people to use his new one.
