Claude for Chrome

TikTokification of the browser by AI is the killer feature, not writing an email. When on a page it automatically suggests the next site(s) to visit based on my history and the page I am on. And when I say killer, this kills google search by pivoting away from the urlbar and provides a new space to put ads. Spent years in the browser space, on Chrome, DDG, Blackberry and more developing browsers, prototype browser and features and this feature is at the top of my list of how AI can disrupt the browser, which disrupts Google's business core model. About 2 years ago I wrote a private blog for friends about how the browser as we knew it was dead. If anyone from the claude team is curious to chat send me a DM.

StumbleUpon beat you to it by a couple decades, and most browsers already include some kind of sponsored recommendation feature (that people disable). Recommendation algorithms are essentially a solved problem, no LLMs required.

StumbleUpon but with context so the next page isn't random but likely the thing you were looking for.

TikTokification is an odd example to pick here, given that TikTok is a platform which didn't kill its Google competitor YouTube.

What do you mean? Youtube ticktocked itself complete with shoehorning vertical videos on the desktop experience.

Kind of, but youtube is now mostly watched on TVs now where I don't imagine people are flicking through Shorts with the remote.

this existed over a decade ago.

it was a security and spam nightmare then, and it still is now.
