“Head to head” doing a lot of heavy lifting. How much market share does Atlas have I wonder.

#5Serious question, not snark: Does anyone actually want this? I honestly can't imagine a use for these features even among people tech savvy enough to understand them.

#6I must be using web browsers completely wrong. Like browsing a page isn't a problem for me. I can do it at the speed of my needs.
I'm having a hard time understanding why I will tell gemini to create an account on some website for me or send an email. Those are usually just a tab away. That's why I feel like I'm missing something here.

Having a browser that works for me would be useful yeah. Stuff like skip the story and give me the recipe, or click through the pointless extra steps, or reformat my address into the bizarre format the website wants.
Of course the single biggest thing my browser can do to help me is blocking ads, which means it's curious to see this just after Google killed adblock in chrome.

Yes. I like it for deep research, that kind of thing where I'd be wading though clickbait search results for hours.
But for regular browsing? I don't see the point.

Maybe you're only using well-designed sites? Try making a booking with a Chinese airline and you'll quickly wish for an assistant to delegate it all to.

In one of the previous companies i worked at, we were automating a very valid use case of a bunch of people crawling though a set of urls daily/weekly and find the pdfs and summarise the changes from the previous week. I'm guessing these features are geared towards them.
