OpenAI recently launched an AI-powered browser, ChatGPT Atlas, raising questions about its potential to replace traditional browsers like Safari.
In a discussion on the Equity podcast, Max Zeff, Sean O'Kane, and others explored the browser landscape, including lesser-known alternatives.
Sean noted that many companies have tried and failed to unseat major browsers due to their inability to make money on the browser alone.
Max tried out Atlas and other AI-powered browsers, noting only a "slight efficiency gain" at best.
