OpenAI is reportedly nearing the launch of a new AI-powered web browser, designed to compete with Google Chrome, according to sources citing internal discussions as of July 9, 2025.
The forthcoming browser is expected to feature integrated chat functions and AI-agent capabilities to assist users with tasks such as summarizing content, composing messages, and generating on-the-fly research. By owning the browsing interface, OpenAI aims to gather behavioral data that can improve model training and customization.

This move deepens OpenAI’s challenge to Google, which currently dominates web browsing with Chrome. While Google embeds AI enhancements in its services, OpenAI’s browser would mark the first full-scale browser built with AI at its core.
Analysts note regulatory scrutiny may follow, especially concerning data privacy and antitrust considerations. Users may need to evaluate privacy settings and data-sharing options carefully once the product launches.
