# AI Browsers: When LLM Companies Step In

## Overview
Large Language Model (LLM) companies are making moves into the **AI browser** space. From new entrants like **Dia**[1], **Comet**[2], and **ChatGPT Atlas**[3], to established browsers like **Chrome** and **Edge** (which now feature AI modes), the competition is heating up.
Despite variety in branding, most are **Chromium-based**[4] derivatives, and their appearance is quite similar:
---
## How AI Is Integrated into Browsers
AI browsers are evolving from traditional browsing to **context-aware assistants**:
1. **Sidebar Chat** — AI in a persistent **right column**, with `@Tab` referencing capabilities or full-page context chats (non-intrusive).
2. **Context Menus** — Right-click to chat about selected content (semi-intrusive page injection).
3. **Agent Mode** — AI autonomously navigates, gathers data, fills forms (fully intrusive, autonomous).
---
## Beyond the Browser: OS-Level Integration
On desktop, the browser is the **optimal AI container** connecting users with the OS.
- Programmers like CLI-based AI (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI).
- Non-technical users prefer **rich UI**: video, audio, images, texts, buttons.
- Browsers are **easier to customize** and bind to proprietary models than building an OS.
The browser thus becomes **strategic infrastructure** for LLM companies: if they can’t own the OS entry point, they aim to own the browser as the traffic gateway.

## ChatGPT Atlas Introduction
**ChatGPT Atlas**[5]: A browser with **ChatGPT deeply embedded**.
- Search, conversation, and page operations merge seamlessly.
- ChatGPT **Memory** integrates with browsing history for task continuity.
### 📌 Limited-Time Benefit
- Setting Atlas as your **default browser**:
- 7 days of **higher ChatGPT usage limits** (in-browser only).
- Available to Free, Plus, Pro, and Go users who haven’t joined similar events before.
- Requirements: Atlas must remain default for full duration.
- No auto-renew; no fees; cannot be transferred.
- Abuse (e.g., shared accounts, automation) may terminate benefit.
---
## Why the Browser Matters
While AI search can return fresh web info, **workflows** still center in the browser:
- **Page = Context**
- **ChatGPT = Interpreter & Executor**
- **Browser = Agent Runtime**
The roadmap likely evolves to **Search → Browse → Operate → Complete**, shifting from “information entry” to **task entry**.
---
## Key Features
### Native Embedding
- **Q&A + URL** on new tab page, with mode switch (*links/images/videos/news*).
- **Personalized suggestions** from your browsing + query history.
- **In-place rewriting**: ChatGPT in sidebar acts on current page content.
---
## Privacy & Control
- **Visibility Toggle** in address bar: disable page reading & memory at will.
- **Browser Memory** (optional): smart suggestions & to-dos from browsing; view/archive/delete in settings.
- **Training**: turned off by default; can opt-in for page-based chat inclusion.
- **Parental Controls**: mirrors ChatGPT settings, adds memory & Agent Mode disable.
---
### FAQ Highlights
- **Separate Memories**: Browser Memory ≠ ChatGPT Memory; manage independently in *Settings → Personalization*.
- **Clear History**: deletes local visit logs; chat logs & ChatGPT memory unaffected — manage via *Settings → Data Controls*.
---
## Agent Mode
**Capabilities**:
- Context-driven research, automation.
- Auto-tabs, click execution, manual launch.
**Safety**:
- No code execution, file downloads, or extension installs.
- Pauses on sensitive sites for manual confirmation.
- *Logged-out Mode* reduces exposure to cookies/auth.
**Risks**:
- Vulnerable to prompt injection; defenses in place but not foolproof.
📌 **Recommendation**: use *Logged-out Mode* when possible.
---
## Cookies & Security
**Cookies** = small text files identifying your session to servers.
- Key for logins/preferences.
- Theft = impersonation risk.
- Logged-out Agent Mode avoids reusing sensitive cookies.
---
## Availability
- macOS: Free, Plus, Pro, Go users globally.
- Enterprise/Education beta (admin-enabled).
- Windows, iOS, Android coming soon.
---
## Developer Guidance
### For Publishers
- **OAI-SearchBot** — allow via `robots.txt` for search indexing.
- **ChatGPT-User** — handles user-initiated site visits.
- **GPTBot** — block in `robots.txt` to prevent model training use.
📌 *OAI-SearchBot User-Agent*:OAI-SearchBot/1.0; +https://openai.com/searchbot

### Blocking Training
Example to allow SearchBot but block GPTBot: User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /
User-agent: OAI-SearchBot
Allow: /

### `noindex` Meta Tag
---
## Atlas Agent Mode for Developers
Follow **WAI-ARIA**[^6] best practices to label UI roles, states, and labels.
---
## Apps SDK Integration
Atlas supports **Apps SDK**[^7]:
Users can invoke apps in natural language — requires consent for data sharing.
---
## Future Plans
Atlas aims for:
- Broader app/browser integration.
- Moving from “display layer” → **executable intelligence layer**.
---
## MDM & Preferences
MDM (Mobile Device Management) keys for Atlas:
- CookiesAllowedForUrls
- ExtensionInstallAllowlist
- ExtensionInstallBlocklist
- ExtensionInstallForcelist
- ExtensionSettings
- RemoteDebuggingAllowed
Supports common Chromium MDM policies.
---
## Conclusion
LLM-owned browsers cut **API wrapper** overhead, offer deep model integration, and may marginalize wrapper-based chat tools unless they provide distinctive value.
Atlas now includes a **usage counter** — I’ve logged **1,051 active days**!
