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 :)

Being able to search browser history with natural language is the feature I am most excited for. I can't count the number of times I've spent >10 minutes looking for a link from 5 months ago that I can describe the content of but can't remember the title.

I think that such feature is already available in Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/15305774?hl=en

Ah, makes sense why I need to use an extension for that:

> To use this feature, you must be located in the US

I just don't get this. Google has SO MANY THINGS that are US only. While most other companies release things to everyone (like OpenAI).

How does Google expect to compete with OpenAI globally if they keep limitting the rest of the world?

What's not to get? Talk to your political representatives about reining in the EDPB if you want access to cutting edge features.

Or if you are not in the EU, spend more money I guess and become an attractive market.

You think normies even know what Gemini is LMAO. No one except some hackernews users and weirdos know it.

"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take.

It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.

At some point, Europe will learn that if they keep preventing international solutions without creating a climate in which similar or better local solutions can emerge, they are cutting their own nose to spite the face. There are secondary and tertiary effects of this, and eventually the 'huge market' will shrink in importance. I mean, Brazil is a huge market, and no-one cares about them thanks to brain-dead legislation concerning tech imports and economic irrelevance.

No one cares about it because you get robbed on gunpoint at the stoplights.

Again no one in Europe cares about some Gemini because frankly no one even knows what it is. They had their run with the black founding fathers and most people who tried it then dismissed it forever.

For normal people ChatGPT = AI.
