  Turning the most popular browser further into an AI hellscape.

  Influencing how every other browser (minus Firefox’s minuscule marketshare) functions via the engine.

  On the other hand, no longer under googles control.

    Google is doing/will be doing all this anyway, combined with a search, maps, youtube, email, etc monopoly.

  In order to better understand the user, their prompts, etc and to be able to fully modify websites, these AIs need access to the DOM.

  This is made much more easier if you integrate your AI to a browser.

  So, in theory, the AI could understand what your are currently researching, profile your interest, and provide you answers before you even made a prompt.
