Look, Another AI Browser

To be sure, a browser that retains a representation of every word you read on it, constantly synthesizing a profile on your preferences, using that profile to filter everything you see through a lens that consistently enforces and limits the worldview of a snapshot-of-you - all with a level of data retention that would be controversial for Google but that OpenAI's users will happily opt into, that Palantir and its government clients are likely salivating over, and that is fertile ground for a new generation of ads that bypass pesky things like third-party cookie restrictions - must be exciting to many!

It's just not exciting to me.

Most of what most people do, who sit 8h a day in front of a computer, is in the browser. So I see where this product idea is coming from...

Can easily bypass captcha when your human confirms it for you.

Genuinely curious - what do people want to see from a new/different rendering engine?

The web is crazy complex these days because it is an entire app platform.

The incentive for anyone building a browser is to use the platform that gives you the best web compat especially at the outset when you don’t have enough users of your app to be able to make big changes to the platform. Even Chrome didn’t start from scratch - it used WebKit!

The Chromium community has built an excellent open platform that everyone can use. We are fortunate to be able to use it.
