    Honestly: does anyone at this point think to themselves that using an OpenAI browser is a good idea? What does it even provide in terms of benefit over literally any alternative?

      Nobody on this platform. But on the normie web there’s probably some folks who think it’s a good idea

        Way too many people drinking the corporate koolaid and continually using and recommending this trash, despite what their own eyes show them.

        So many of them that it is scary. And educating them will probably often elicit the stubborn response: “I don’t care, I like it, it’s convenient and the errors won’t kill me” (at least if their attitude towards privacy is any indication).

        The overwhelming majority of users will use whatever’s preinstalled on their platform. I dunno if OpenAI can go pay some cell phone manufacturer to preinstall their browser, but if they want marketshare, I’m pretty sure that that’s the only realistic route to do so.

      does anyone at this point think to themselves that (…)

      Yes.

      Whatever the rest of this sentence would be, the answer is “yes”.

        Furthermore, I’ve found the answer to this being not just ”yes” but ”yes, most of them”. I think I’ll just give up.
