ChatGPT gets browser: Google loses $150B; Chrome faces monopoly threat

OpenAI’s new AI browser, ChatGPT Atlas, has shaken the tech world. The launch caused a massive $150 billion drop in Alphabet’s market value. CEO Sam Altman called it a rare chance to redefine web browsing. Atlas integrates ChatGPT directly, allowing AI to perform tasks. This poses a significant challenge to Google’s search advertising revenue. Investors are watching closely as Google also integrates AI into its Chrome browser. The competition for browser dominance is heating up.
