AI-powered browsers are an interesting step beyond "ChatGPT in a tab". Potentially as disruptive as Chrome was in 2008.

However there's a tension between convenience and control. If one company mediates all of your browsing, search and transactions, it becomes both a powerful assistant and a single point of failure. Atlas will need to demonstrate that it can respect user privacy and provide robust on-device or open-source options if it's going to convince people it's more than just a new walled garden.

What is this based on? personally I agree with you but in reality the market has spoken and it's said: "we don't care about privacy or walled gardens"

I definitely see a bit of push back from people (non-tech people I know). Things like system privacy prompts (for location, tracking, contacts + photo access) have made them more mindful of when they're giving data away.
