Tried using it, but 2FA is throwing me the error 409 below. Might be because I'm behind my company VPN.

Route Error (409 ): { "error": { "message": "Something went wrong. Please make sure your device's date and time are set properly. Check that your internet connection is stable, then restart the app and try again.", "type": "invalid_request_error", "param": null, "code": "preauth_cookie_failed" } }

Looking forward for the 1Password extension to work properly. Installation works, but the integration doesn't yet. Nice lean UI though, thanks to Chromium oc

If you think this is useful... remember technology like this would make totalitarian leaders foam at the mouth. If you thought that ads are creepy, Atlas is a root level keylogger service. Why would you want an AI company scraping and recording all of your browser interactions. Yes Google already does this via Chrome.

Well said. Can't wait for the windows version so I can use it. Jk jk

Could this be an Extension, for Chrome / Firefox / Edge / and others ? Are these extension-fodder: - "new tab" shows custom UI with LLM prompt - Reads contents of user's web page in Chat UI, shown alongside web page - new UI gizmo at Text-selection, showing ChatGPT flower icon, with context features available for selected text - maintains "agent personality / context" (IDK the term) across tabs

That's what I thought: is an extension really that restrictive to where you need your own fork of a browser engine? It appears to me like they're posturing to investors on the AI hype train. Publishing an extension isn't as sexy or "grand" as shipping a browser.

For-profit customizations (via an extension) may want to fork to avoid competitive situations such as e.g. the multi-year struggle between uBlock Origin extension and Google:

Not for-profit may fare better, tolerating and pivoting as corporate owners attempt to strategically vendor-lock-in new markets, presented to e.g. Google by the innovators of the extension.

Just to be meta, I downloaded the browser and added this thread as context and asked for some insightful comments I could leave (It doesn't seem to understand block-quoting format for this site): Analytical / Insightful (well-received on HN) > The interesting thing here isn’t that OpenAI made “a browser,” it’s that they’ve collapsed the boundary between the page and the assistant. Plugins and “GPTs” tried to bolt API…

Interesting.. Sounds all quite "pitchy", and conveniently left out almost all criticism about Big Tech holding all user data (like my own comment) and whetjer AI in the browser is really needed, which many comments were about.

I guess Atlas is a good name for a web browser. But I'm surprised their first release is Mac only. Does it indicate they are targeting some kind of power user (programmers, creatives etc) or is it just the first platform they could ship by the deadline? Will they be able to take any significant marketshare from Chrome? I suppose only time will tell but it will be a pretty hard slog especially since Chrome is pretty m…

They probably just wanted to get it out ASAP with whatever OS they targeted first. Their launch post says:

> Experiences for Windows, iOS, and Android are coming soon.

My web browser runs as root? Atlas runs as root? Atlas is a keylogger that indiscriminately watches what I type? Are any of these things true?

Yes
