Here are the highlights from the .DMG installer screens (https://imgur.com/a/Tu4TlNu):
1. Turn on browser memories Allow ChatGPT to remember useful details as you browse to give smarter responses and proactive suggestions. You're in control - memories stay private.
2. Ask ChatGPT - on any website Open the ChatGPT sidebar on any website to summarize, explain, or handle tasks - right next to what you're browsing.
3. Make your cursor a collaborator ChatGPT can help you draft emails, write reviews, or fill out forms. Highlight text inside a form field or doc and click the ChatGPT logo to get started.
4. Set as default browser BOOST CHATGPT LIMITS Unlock 7 days of extended limits on messaging, file uploads, data analysis, and image generation on ChatGPT Atlas.
5. You're all set — welcome to Atlas! Have fun exploring the web with ChatGPT by your side, all while staying in control of your data and privacy. (This screen also displays shareable PNG badge with days since you registered for ChatGPT and Atlas).
My guess is that many ChatGPT Free users will make it their default browser just because of (4) — to extend their limits. Creative :)

I turned off chatGPT memory entirely because it doesn't know how to segment itself. I was getting inane comments like this when asking about winter tires:
Because you work in firmware (so presumably you appreciate measurement, risk, durability) you might be more critical of the “wear sooner than ideal” signals and want a tire with more robustness.

Being able to search browser history with natural language is the feature I am most excited for. I can't count the number of times I've spent >10 minutes looking for a link from 5 months ago that I can describe the content of but can't remember the title.

How can you trust company that says Privacy in your control or some nonsense like that, when they scraped the whole internet and breached the foundation of privacy :)

I tried making it my default browser because of (4)
You miss the most questionable bit which is asking for keychain access. I said no to that one.

This may be the first time I see a 'perk' of choosing a browser as default.
People will probably leave it default past the perk period.

I’m surprised they released something so underwhelming. This will take zero market share from existing browsers.

The wars between LLMs are still hot, it's not expensive to get enough access for LLMs, like student version of Gemini.
More access for free users might not provide enough attraction.

Giving people money to set you as your default browser seems like it might be, idunno, like, maybe a little bit anticompetitive and dystopian
