Atlas confuses me. Firefox already puts Claude or ChatGPT in my sidebar and has integrations so I can have it analyze or summarize content or help me with something on the page. Atlas looks like yet another Chromium fork that should have been a browser extension, not a revolutionary product that will secure OpenAI's market dominance.


Yep. I was playing around with both Atlas and Comet and, security and privacy issues aside, I can’t figure out what they’re for or what the point is.

Except one: it gives them the default search engine and doesn’t let you change it.

I asked Atlas about this and it told me that’s true, the AI features are just a hook, this is about lock in.

Make of that what you will.


It is not a fork, and it is a NewTab page Chrome extension.

They didn't even change the codename that's displayed in the Settings page.
