An OpenAI Web Browser Is Imminent, Report Says. That Would Really Shake Up the Web

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-27 06:41:18

OpenAI is working on an AI-powered web browser that could make its debut in the coming weeks, according to a report from Reuters on Wednesday. That would be a major incursion by OpenAI, which makes the dominant AI chatbot, ChatGPT, into a realm where Google is top dog. Google Chrome is the world's most popular web browser, with a global market share of 68%, according to Statista. Google also has its own generative AI technology, called Gemini, which it has been integrating across its range of

The Web Should Work For You We believe curiosity is a superpower. It’s the spark that propels humanity forward. Yet, the web—our greatest source of information—was never designed to nurture curiosity; instead we’ve been asked to “browse” it through a one-way lens. That’s why we made Comet. Comet gives curious minds a thought partner for every aspect of online life. Comet moves every tab or task into a simple space for asking more of the world.

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.

Brut: A New Web Framework for Ruby

Brut aims to be a simple, yet fully-featured web framework for Ruby. It's different than other Ruby web frameworks. Brut has no controllers, verbs, or resources. You build pages, forms, and single-action handlers. You write HTML, which is generated on the server. You can write all the JavaScript and CSS you want. Here’s a web page that tells you what time it is: class TimePage < AppPage def initialize ( clock :) @clock = clock end def page_template header do h1 { "Welcome to the Time Page!" }

How Let's Encrypt made the internet safer and HTTPS standard - and free

KTSDESIGN/Getty Images In 1996, I registered my first website, Vaughan-Nichols & Associates. After setting up the site, one of the first things I did was to secure connections with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate. The then-new security network protocol provided an encrypted connection and a digital certificate that authenticates a website's identity. SSL was then, and is now, the minimum security a safe website should provide to its users. The protocol was also a major pain to set up

Free Lunch Is Over for the AI That Broke the Web

The foundational deal of the modern web, a handshake agreement that powered two decades of search and content, is officially dead. Cloudflare just put a price on scraping the internet, and it’s coming for artificial intelligence’s free lunch. Almost 30 years ago, two Stanford grad students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, built Google on a simple bargain: content creators would let them copy the entire web in exchange for traffic.
