techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-09-07 03:48:06

In Brief Hot on the heels of Perplexity’s Comet launch, OpenAI is planning to release an AI-powered web browser of its own to challenge Google Chrome, according to a report from Reuters on Wednesday. The ChatGPT maker reportedly aims to release its browser in the coming weeks. Much like Perplexity’s Comet and The Browser Company’s Dia, OpenAI’s browser is said to use AI to rethink how users browse the web. Supposedly, the browser keeps some user interactions inside ChatGPT instead of linking o

10 simple ways Mac users can better protect their privacy - and why they should

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-12 03:15:00

Kyle Kucharski/ZDNET MacOS is a solid operating system. But no matter how secure an operating system is, it's vulnerable if it's connected to a network.

I loved Arc browser and was skeptical of its agentic Dia replacement - until I tried it

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-09-12 07:20:05

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When The Browser Company announced they were ending Arc and developing an agentic browser that could leverage AI in ways other browsers were not, I was skeptical. I was starting to see the value in AI, but using it in such a way seemed like just another crutch for users to lean on -- so they didn't have to take the time to do those things themselves. I also saw it as a possible security and privacy issue. Also: Love Arc browser? You can get early acc

Leaks hint at Operator-like tool in ChatGPT ahead of GPT-5 launch

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-09-15 07:22:31

A few new code references in the ChatGPT web app and Android point to an Operator-like tool in GPT's chain of thoughts. As spotted by Tibor on X, the Android beta has strings like “click,” “drag,” “type,” and even “terminal feed,” which seem to suggest that ChatGPT could soon call a remote browser or sandboxed environment (Operator?). For those unaware, OpenAI already has Operator, which uses an AI agent to navigate a remote browser session and execute tasks for you. These references suggest
