AI browsers enhance research efficiency with custom skills and autonomous modes but introduce risks like data privacy breaches and security vulnerabilities, experts warn.
- Recently, AI browsers such as OpenAI's ChatGPT Atlas, Dia and Perplexity's Comet embed built-in assistants with persistent side panels that let users query and combine content across tabs.
- Creating custom skills with plain-language commands automates repeated browsing tasks, letting users link active tabs to third-party services such as Gmail, Drive and Notion for tailored, faster workflows.
