Browser wars have begun.
> that OpenAI will be launching a (presumably not open source) browser of their own this summer.
For sure, won't be open-source. I bet in some parallel world, openAI would be non-profit and actually open-source AI :)
Kind of a sad browser war. The majority of these Chromium forks should exist, nor are they particularly viable. Sniffing out which one is going to be successful is obviously the hard problem.
Ideally we'd get an extensions API for AI agents and various companies could just release their own plugins. Sadly I don't think the majority is interested, they want to control the "experience".
