The post OpenAI is launching an AI-powered browser in the coming weeks to compete directly with Google Chrome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

OpenAI is building a new AI-powered browser that will go head-to-head with Google Chrome, and it’s coming sooner than expected. The launch is expected in the next few weeks, according to Reuters. The browser will use artificial intelligence to change how people browse and search. Instead of just opening websites, it will let users get answers straight inside a ChatGPT-style window.

It helps the company collect user data, target ads, and push people toward Google Search by default. That loop generates nearly 75% of Alphabet’s total revenue. But if ChatGPT’s 400 million weekly users switch to OpenAI’s browser, that loop breaks. And the money flows with it.

So instead of clicking links, users can interact directly with the AI and stay inside that experience. That’s a direct challenge to the way Chrome works—and the way websites earn traffic. It’s also part of a bigger move by OpenAI to make its tools a core part of how people live and work every day. OpenAI is led by Sam Altman, who introduced ChatGPT in 2022 and immediately changed the pace of the tech industry. After its early success, OpenAI has been trying to stay ahead of rivals like Google and Anthropic by expanding fast. One way it’s doing that is through hardware. OpenAI recently closed a $6.5 billion all-stock deal to acquire io, an AI device company co-founded by Jony Ive, Apple’s former design chief. That deal, OpenAI’s biggest ever, gives the company a full hardware…
