Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens ( https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu ): 1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private. 2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing. 3.…

Being able to search browser history with natural language is the feature I am most excited for. I can't count the number of times I've spent >10 minutes looking for a link from 5 months ago that I can describe the content of but can't remember the title.

I think that such feature is already available in Chrome https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/15305774?hl=en

The thing I find the most funny about all of these demos is they outsource tasks that are pretty meaningful ... choosing where to hike, learning more about the world around you, instead, you'll be told what to do and live in blissful ignorance. The challenge of living life is also the joy, at least to me. Plus I would never trust a company like openai with all of my personal information. This is definitely just them…

I can totally see wanting to automate your life like this for work - "re-order that shipment from last week" or "bump my flight a day". But using this for personal stuff, it does seem like a slide towards just living a totally automated life.

This is exactly our vision as well!

But we want to enable you to run these automations using local models, which would be secure and privacy-first

This may be the first time I see a 'perk' of choosing a browser as default.

People will probably leave it default past the perk period.

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. It's one thing to build a predictive model on your demographic, spending, location and income inform…

Good thing is: they have no moat – there will be open source alternatives, even if a little later and a little less performant.

You have a great business sense!

There is an open source alternative -- browserOS.com

> everything that openAI does is laser focused on valuation valuation valuation idk it seems like a company filled with product and engineering where people are thinking of cool product ideas and shipping them. They don’t have to all hit, but it doesn’t seem bad to try them.

the company charter is not product and engineering it's "we are going to invent THE machine, the singular fulcrum upon which the infinite lever of history, the transcendent union of man and machine, the birth of a new GOD, rests." I mean, ok, you're product and engineering, fine. You get $20/mo out of your million or so paying users and $200/mo from a small handful of freaks. what does that mean for the valuation? wh…

btw the product ideas ARE cool. I like them. they are not worth eleventy trillion dollars.

Does it store credit card numbers and passwords like other browsers ?

Hand your full online identity and cards to an AI, what could go wrong?

Watching this "IT revolution" being presented on the extremely lagging website is very ironic :) . Interesting how many unnecessary layered graphics they've used. First outline of the pseudo windows were rendered, then windows in one color, then windows in another color... And getting video player fully visible in the frame took me a few tries, fighting lagging scroll. :)

Im still weary of OpenAI being legally required to retain all of your data even if you delete it [0] . This means everything you expose to this tool will be permanently stored somewhere. Why isn’t this a bigger problem for people? Even privacy concerns aside… this would be the world’s most catastrophic data leak. [0]: https://openai.com/index/response-to-nyt-data-demands/

I'm not so sure this is much worse than Chrome. Really in today's world if you're not browsing the web like multiple people are looking over your shoulder you're probably doing it wrong. And most of the steps people do to mitigate privacy violations (TOR, pihole, VPNs, etc.) probably make any signal you do put out more scrutinized. The one solution I do like is the iCloud private relay which I hope some reputable VPN…

Does Google have my .env files that I've opened via Chrome?

ChatGPT quickly became a replacement for google search in many usecases, now it is coming for Chrome's lunch. What's going to be google's response here? They can't afford to lose dominance in these markets, surely they're coming after Ads next.

The difference between openAI and Google is that openAI has only 2 percent of customers paying for their service and bleeding financially - so theoretically they will run out of money one day when investors lose patience. Google, on the other hand, is a 25+ year old company that has a range of products; so it will very likely stand up to this, even if some of it is not profitable. And we'll always need search in that flood of data.

I haven't used LLM chrome plugins because I couldn't trust that they weren't collecting more information about my browsing than I'd like. The same concern exists for this, though now I'm just confident it's a giant software company with access to my data rather than some shady plugin developer. I'm faced with asking myself if that's actually better...

There's a great value proposition for a company like Private Internet Access or NordVPN to create an AI browser extension or full-on browser. Anonymize requests and provide various LLM models. Rely on your reputation as a privacy focused corp to pull people away from these OpenAI/Perplexity offerings.

Kagi is starting down that path
