AI, Perplexity and Web Browser

The browser is slated to launch in the coming weeks and aims to use artificial intelligence to fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company known for ChatGPT, is preparing to introduce its own web browser in the coming weeks, according to Reuters. The new browser, which will be built on Chromium—the same open-source foundation used by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge—reflects OpenAI’s growing efforts to embed AI more deeply into everyday digital experiences.
If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.
The browser wars could be about to heat up in a big way, with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI apparently set to launch its own web browser in the coming weeks. According to Reuters, that could put significant pressure on Google Chrome and potentially “fundamentally change how consumers browse the web.”
If Chrome feels more like a chore than a choice, these Android browsers offer privacy, speed, and features people actually care about.
