Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens (https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu):

1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private.

2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing.

3. Make your cursor a collaborator ChatGPT can help you draft emails, write reviews, or fill out forms. Highlight text inside a form field or doc and click the ChatGPT logo to get started.

4. Set as default browser BOOST CHATGPT LIMITS Unlock 7 days of extended limits on messaging, file uploads, data analysis, and image generation on ChatGPT Atlas.

5. You're all set — welcome to Atlas! Have fun exploring the web with ChatGPT by your side, all while staying in control of your data and privacy. (This screen also displays shareable PNG badge with days since you registered for ChatGPT and Atlas).

My guess is that many ChatGPT Free users will make it their default browser just because of (4) — to extend their limits. Creative :)

Giving people money to set you as your default browser seems like it might be, idunno, like, maybe a little bit anticompetitive and dystopian

Or maybe a prime example of healthy capitalism! /s

getting an 50 mile Uber ride for $25 when taxi was charging me $100 sure got that app onto my phone... once I had the app on the phone...

It feels like a natural competitive extension to any company seriously trying to usurp Google's browser domination including but not limited to paying Apple to be the default search engine

Why? Sounds quite competitive to me. Making chatgpt only work with their own browser would be anti-competitive.

I dunno... it sounds better than giving Apple/Mozilla/etc. dump-trucks of money to make Google my default search engine.

Very slightly better, but only very slightly, and Google's tactic was ruled illegal anti-competition so this feels like an attempt to find a loophole
