OpenAI is reportedly developing an AI-first web browser, potentially named 'Aura', to rival Google Chrome. The browser is expected to integrate AI functionalities, such as summarising content and filling forms, aiming to transform passive browsing into an interactive, AI-led experience. By using AI to handle tasks, OpenAI aims to reduce the need for users to directly visit websites, potentially impacting how users engage with online content.

'Aura' is rumoured to be built on Chromium, the same platform as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, allowing for cross-platform compatibility. The browser could feature a conversational AI interface, enabling users to interact with the web through AI agents. This approach would also provide OpenAI with access to user browsing data, which could enhance its AI models and services.

If successful in attracting a portion of ChatGPT's user base, OpenAI could gain a significant foothold in the browser market. The launch of 'Aura' could intensify competition with Google, especially regarding data collection and ad targeting. The release of the browser is expected in the coming weeks.
