🕸️ Exclusive-OpenAI to release web browser in challenge to Google Chrome • Reuters

「 OpenAI's browser is built atop Chromium, Google's own open-source browser code, two of the sources said. Chromium is the source code for Google Chrome, as well as many competing browsers including Microsoft's Edge and Opera 」

Yes, that would be nice. But I don’t think anyone is holding their breath waiting for C2S to be realistically usable.

For years, we’ve all just filled the gap in C2S with the Mastodon API, which isn’t great.

For the foreseeable future, we’re probably going to have a patchwork of overlapping solutions that all combine into a semi-coherent system. FEP-3b86 is one more patch in the tapestry.

@benpate@rakoo One other question: would @Vivaldi be a browser that could do this first? They use #chromium as base but build on top of that…would this be a feature they could support on top of existing chromium or would it need to be built there? cc: @jon @brucelawson
