OpenAI is pulling the plug on its dedicated web browser, ChatGPT Atlas. Instead of investing in an AI browser with a small user base, the company is improving agentic web use features inside the new ChatGPT desktop app.

While ChatGPT Atlas may not have gained much traction, AI browsers can be useful for automating tasks like research, browser tidiness, and more. Here are options available on the Mac.

AI browsers for Mac

Prior to ChatGPT Atlas being discontinued, OpenAI released a ChatGPT Chrome extension. This brings a lot of the ChatGPT integration to the most popular web browser.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT Chrome extension, of course, will work in any Chromium-based browser that supports Chrome extensions. Google also bakes Gemini into Chrome, so users have options.
