The challenges for Google have been increasing continuously for some time. Be it search or the dominance of the Chrome browser, OpenAI has continuously posed challenges for Google. Recently, OpenAI launched the ChatGPT Atlas AI browser, which is considered a direct competitor to Google’s Chrome. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced the launch of this browser and just hours later, the valuation of Google’s parent company Alphabet fell by $ 150 billion (about Rs 13 lakh crore).
Huge fall in Alphabet’s shares
OpenAI posted a video announcing the launch of the Atlas browser. In his address, Altman said that it is not just another competitor to Google Chrome, but will redefine web browsing. It’s a once-a-year opportunity to think about what a browser can do. Just hours after his address to launch the Atlas browser, Alphabet’s shares saw a sharp decline, falling as much as 4.8 percent.
These are the key features of Atlas Browser
Atlas browser based on Chromium technology is currently available only for macOS and will also be launched for Windows, iOS and Android in the future. It has many impressive features including ChatGPT integration and personalized browsing. It has a special agentic mode that automatically completes the user’s tasks. The company has demonstrated that ChatGPT can automatically order all the ingredients needed for a recipe after viewing it. This would take several minutes on a browser like Google Chrome, but Atlas’s agentive mode can do the job in a matter of seconds.
