OpenAI is rolling out a series of updates for its AI-powered web browser, ChatGPT Atlas, just days after its launch, signaling the company’s intent to challenge the dominance of traditional browsers like Google Chrome. Adam Fry, the lead of the Atlas team, shared a detailed list of upcoming features, stating the team is “heads down making it better” and already working on key improvements. Among the most anticipated updates is the introduction of user profiles, which will allow individuals to maintain separate browsing environments. Tab groups and an opt-in ad blocker are also in the works, with Fry noting these features are part of a broader set of “post-launch fixes” aimed at enhancing usability. Most of these updates are expected to roll out over the coming weeks, though some may take longer to implement. The browser is also getting a number of quality-of-life improvements, including an overflow bookmarks menu and a dedicated list of keyboard shortcuts. These changes are designed to make navigation smoother and more intuitive for users. On the AI front, OpenAI is enhancing two core features: the AI agent and the Ask ChatGPT sidebar. The agent, currently available only to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers, will see faster response times, a more stable “pause” function, and better integration with tools like Google Drive and cloud-based Excel. These upgrades aim to make the agent more reliable and useful for real-world tasks. The Ask ChatGPT sidebar is also being refined to allow users to switch between projects or AI models without leaving the current page. Fry emphasized that the goal is to keep users in their workflow while still leveraging AI assistance. He also hinted at a prototype that would let users copy and paste text directly from the sidebar, a feature many users have requested. Additional improvements include plans to automatically reopen pinned tabs after a browser restart, a small but meaningful convenience for frequent users. Fry also acknowledged ongoing work to fix issues with the 1Password password manager, though he noted that some features are still in development and may involve third-party partners, which is why they weren’t included in the public list. “Let us know if you have more suggestions!” Fry encouraged, showing that OpenAI is actively listening to user feedback. The rapid pace of updates suggests that Atlas is being treated as a living product, evolving quickly based on real-world use and community input.
