The browser wars are heating up again, this time with AI in the driver’s seat.

OpenAI just launched Atlas, a ChatGPT-powered browser that lets users surf the web using natural language and even includes an “agent mode” that can complete tasks autonomously. It’s one of the biggest browser launches in recent memory, but it’s debuting with an unsolved security flaw that could expose passwords, emails, and sensitive data.

On TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Max Zeff, Anthony Ha and Sean O’Kane break down Atlas’s debut, the broader wave of alternative browsers, and more of the week’s startup and tech news.

I’ve tried these AI browsers and they provide little-to-no value. And anything they can get right could have been done with a basic extension years ago.
