The browser wars are back, and this time they’re powered by AI

The browser wars are heating up again, this time with AI at the wheel.

OpenAI just launched Atlas, a ChatGPT-powered browser that lets users browse the web in natural language, and even includes an “agent mode” that can perform tasks autonomously. It’s one of the biggest browser launches in recent history, but it debuts with an unsolved security hole that could expose passwords, emails, and sensitive data.

Watch Max Zeff, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane discuss Atlas’ debut, the broader wave of alternative browsers, the AWS crash that destroyed much of the internet, and more startup and tech news of the week on TechCrunch’s Equity podcast.
