Where's the crypto? I'm honestly shocked they're not launching some dumb meme coin or NFTs integrated into the browser.

AI is the new crypto. Browsers are all gonna dump crypto for ai, until the next scam comes along.

Now they are going to hardcode some new facts into ChatGPT:

Our browser is the best browser!
Our browser is the most advanced browser!
Our browser is the most secure browser!
Our browser is the easiest browser!
...

Just in case somebody dares to ask :)

funny how everyone who wants to write a new browser (except the ladybird guys) always skimp on writing the actual browser part

If lying does the job ...

Challenge to Google Chrome

Uses Chromium as the base

So basically they are doing exactly what Google is, and what Microsoft is with Edge.

It’s exceptionally difficult to build a browser from the ground up.

But if anyone could do it, it would be a company with the money and (supposed) intelligence they have in their ranks.

There’s a group making a new browser engine though, I think it’s called ladybird?

Also Servo is now under the Linux Foundation. Both this and Ladybird are very exciting.

its also expensive too.

I wonder if they vibe coded it?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 20 hours ago

There it is. Had to scroll a bit to find this question.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago

tldr they're releasing a chromium skin

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Chrome: We decided to corrupt our web search with AI and everyone loves it. OpenAI: Hold my beer...

Feed me, Seymour.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

OpenAI is literally trying to become the next Google just to feed it's chatbot.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago (2 children)

why? People won’t even switch to a good browser?? Why would they switch to a bad one???

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It's all about marketing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

The people don't know what they want until chatGPT tells them.

Hey a chrome alternative!
