That just shows they were in a rush to release the product rather than taking time to refine it. You can tell it’s quite rough and simple, with almost no distinctive visual style.

> it’s quite rough and simple, with almost no distinctive visual style Sounds like how they typically design their services, which I like. It's easy to the eyes

I quite like the ASCII art animation from DevDay.

Yeah but that requires time and effort. If they couldn't be bothered to launch on Windows and Linux when Chromium already has solid support for both, bringing up an immature browser engine was never going to happen.

Probably in response to the Dia and Arc browsers.

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.…

I turned off chatGPT memory entirely because it doesn't know how to segment itself. I was getting inane comments like this when asking about winter tires: Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.

This sounds really annoying. I prefer claudes opt in implementation, where if you want to reference an earlier chat you can just say, remember we spoke about xyz and otherwise the feature seems to be completely off.

Am I the only one who doesn't want to type a lot while browsing? (I comment on HN very rarely too...).

You're not alone. 90% of the examples in this thread I could do faster myself. I honestly feel like I live in a different reality reading through it all...

"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take. It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.

At some point, Europe will learn that if they keep preventing international solutions without creating a climate in which similar or better local solutions can emerge, they are cutting their own nose to spite the face. There are secondary and tertiary effects of this, and eventually the 'huge market' will shrink in importance. I mean, Brazil is a huge market, and no-one cares about them thanks to brain-dead legislati…

No one cares about it because you get robbed on gunpoint at the stoplights.

Again no one in Europe cares about some Gemini because frankly no one even knows what it is. They had their run with the black founding fathers and most people who tried it then dismissed it forever.

For normal people ChatGPT = AI.

I have the same issue. I often get annoyed with ChatGPT yammering on and on, so I repeatedly told it to cut to the chase and speak more succinctly. Now it just says "I'll get right to the point..." and then still yammers on and on unabated.

I add "Terse, no commentary" to a request, which it will obey, but then immediately return to yammering in a follow-up message. However, this is in Incognito; maybe there's a setting when logged in.

With GPT5 there is a persona (I think, I forget what the call it) setting, I chose "Robot" and that shut it up pretty well.

bit off topic but openai seems to be focusing completely on Apple's ecosystem now, particularly for the US market too and as non-apple user outside of the US I feel completely left out. Half a trillion dollar company not being to produce multi-platform software when it has never been as easy as it is today is a really bad look. I genuinely don't understand how they could ever fulfill their claims of being good AGI st…

I guess they want to do it first where the opportunity for monetization is best.

Is this how they're going to steward AGI as well? Take it to places where monetization is the best first? This is a nonprofit "for good of humanity" company btw

Can’t believe the top comment to this post is an ad of a competitor. No offense, your extension seems fine, but realistically how are you planning on surviving given OpenAI has moved to this space?

There's way more people using chrome (right now) than this new browser.

Duh? It just launched. That’s like saying there are way more people using vscode than cursor on the day cursor launched.

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.

> People will probably leave it default past the perk period.

That’s the idea. It’s an obvious dark pattern. Just like a free trial which automatically stars billing you at the end of the period.
