I just want competent search of my history. I just want some way of exporting my history in a visually appealing way so I can share my research paths with colleagues in a meaningful way. Vannevar Bush described features like this in 1949 and we still only have partially realized any of this.

So Google did roll out some of this in it's built in Gemini for chrome.

I'm not too sure how I activated it, but on one occasion it did launch into a search of my history when I was trying in the address bar.

It looks like Google is just silently adding the useful features into their AI. Product (like they did with the ai overviews)

I just want to know what website I was on even i clicked a link , like the hierarchy of tree tabs. A chronological list is only so useful, I want to see my click journey

Because who doesn't want OpenAI reading all their email?

The same people that don't want Google doing it?

This reply is actually so funny lmao. But yeah, agreed

> OpenAI Set to Challenge Google with New ChatGPT Atlas Browser

So they will rename Edge ?

And how will they challenge Google, when Google makes the browser ?

how long until Google close up chromium?

Why would they, having your competitor build their product on land you control is invaluable.

Unless this actually takes significant market share, I doubt any of this matters. It's just noise to Google.

searching "porn" gives a lecture about how it can't do that

Wow, such innovation, yet another Chrome clone with a chatbot builtin the sidebar…

Google is surely terrified of this “challenger” being built on a foundation (chromium) they have complete control over.

I always thought that open-source licensing (which Chromium uses) means that the maintainer does not have much control over the software.

Not legal control, just de-facto control because no one else seems to have the knowledge & resources to build a browser enginer other than Mozilla (and Firefox's market share keeps shrinking).

Brave and all the other browsers based on Chromium have said that they can only keep support for Manifest V2 extensions as long as support remains in Chromium; meaning they don't have the ability to maintain it themselves and are at the mercy of upstream.

But there is a reason an organization might not want to maintain Manifest V2 that has nothing to do with whether they have the ability: namely, V2 has been a massive security headache: any V2 extension can totally pwn the browser. Brave and Microsoft have made changes to Chromium that they care about (i.e., not V2) and they continue to maintain those changes.

P.S. Brave has integrated ad-blocking (i.e., blocking not implemented as an extension) which some say is comparable to Ublock Origin.
