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 :)

How can you trust company that says Privacy in your control or some nonsense like that, when they scraped the whole internet and breached the foundation of privacy :)

Seems like it's based on Chromium? If so, that's a no-go for me. We need more web diversity and support smaller browser engines, we don't need yet another Chromium/Blink based browser.

I agree with this sentiment, but besides Webkit/Chromium and Firefox's Gecko, there's not really any options. Ladybird is a new implementation gaining fast though don't think it's ready to replace everyday workflows yet. And Ladybird has been a huge undertaking of course.

Building a new browser engine is 99% of the work and slapping LLM features on it is the other 1% of it.
