You already know that web browsers are one of the most important and used types of software. They not only serve to navigate, they move the searches market and with it the immense advertising cake of the Internet or the purchases of electronic commerce. Openai, Chatgpt developer and one of those responsible for the AI revolution, already challenged Google with the launch of the Searchgpt search engine and now points even higher.

Openai’s idea, known for the company’s plans for the future, aims to transform the assistant from a tool into a complement that revolutionize our way of navigating the Internet, focusing searches and interacting with their services.

This will allow Openai to directly access a pillar of Google’s success: User data. If the OpenAI web browser were adopted by the 500 million Chatgpt’s weekly active users, it could exert pressure on a key component of Google’s advertising income flow.
As we said, Chrome is an essential pillar in the advertising business of the Alphabet matrix, representing almost three quarters of its global income. It allows to segment the ads more effectively and profitable and also allows Google to direct search traffic to its own default search engine.
