The browser wars are reigniting with a new focus on AI technology. OpenAI has launched Atlas, an innovative browser powered by ChatGPT that allows users to navigate the web using natural language and includes autonomous task completion features through "agent mode." However, Atlas debuted with a significant security flaw potentially exposing sensitive user data such as passwords and emails. TechCrunch’s Equity podcast discusses this launch alongside broader trends in alternative browsers and recent tech news like an AWS crash affecting internet services.
