     @glynmoody Lots to unpack there. FWIW I find Firefox a perfectly fine - if perhaps not exciting - browser. What we really need IMO is a community driven fork that picks up the ball that Mozilla has dropped.

     Whatever OpenAI ends up building, if it does, won't be the Holy Grail of open source browsers, that's for sure.

     @jzb I remember when Firefox was launched - as Phoenix, of course. I remember when its market share soared, and IE's fell. It's just that today it's pretty much irrelevant, and seems to have lost its way despite - or maybe because - of all the money it gathers...

     And no, OpenAI's browser will be, well, OpenAI's...
