Oh boy another Chromium based "challenger" to chrome... LMFAO

OpenAI's browser is built atop Chromium, Google's own open-source browser code, two of the sources said.

I don't see the problem with this, as long as they fork it and cut off dependance from Google.

Two tech giants fighting over the browser market is better than just a straight up monopoly

The problem is that web browsers have become a mono culture. I lived through IE6 putting netscape out of business, and then never updating IE6. It was not a fun time for 10 years until Firefox came along. We need more diversity in browser engines.
