Exclusive-OpenAI to Release Web Browser in Challenge to Google Chrome
CANADA, JUL 9 – OpenAI plans to leverage AI integration and its 400 million ChatGPT users to challenge Google's dominance and gain direct access to valuable user data.
- On July 9, 2025, OpenAI revealed plans to introduce a new web browser enhanced with artificial intelligence features, aiming to compete with the leading Google Chrome.
- To gain greater control over data collection and reduce reliance on existing browsers, OpenAI is developing its own AI-powered web browser, aiming to rival Google Chrome amid increasing regulatory scrutiny.
- The browser will integrate AI agents like Operator, keep some user interactions inside a ChatGPT-like chat interface, and enable task completion without navigating to websites.
- ChatGPT has 400 million weekly active users, Google Chrome holds over two-thirds of the global browser market, and OpenAI paid $6.5 billion to acquire io, Jony Ive's AI hardware startup.
- OpenAI's browser launch could pressure Google's ad revenue by shifting data access and user engagement, potentially reshaping online browsing and AI integration.
