OpenAI Launches Web Browser to Compete with Google Chrome

OpenAI enters AI browser market to challenge Google and Perplexity AI with ChatGPT Atlas, launching first on macOS before expanding to other platforms.

  • On October 21, 2025, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Atlas with a livestream set for 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, describing it as its 'new browser' launching globally on macOS, with Windows, iOS, and Android coming soon.
  • Amid AI-driven changes in search, OpenAI aims to capture more traffic and ad revenue, competing with Google parent Alphabet's Chrome and Perplexity AI's Comet browser.
  • The browser features an Ask ChatGPT sidebar that stays open while you browse, includes an Operator AI agent and Cursor Chat for tasks, and uses browser memory to personalize responses.
  • Shares of Google parent Alphabet fell 4% after OpenAI announced the launch, and observers said OpenAI was already hitting Google where it hurts as the livestream went live.
  • As AI browsers become a battleground, Atlas's Chromium base and agent pairing position OpenAI for wider impact with a Mac-first rollout and Windows and mobile versions soon.
