Earlier this week, OpenAI announced the launch of its own web browser, immediately sending shockwaves through the markets. Was OpenAI about to be the next big player in the web-browsing game?

Well, no. It turns out their “browser” is just built on Google’s Chromium. Also, it sucks.

Users are reporting that the same content limitations seen in ChatGPT also apply in the browser itself. That means if you want to look up something spicy or from, uh *that* period in history, you’ll get the gentle hand of OpenAI telling you that you’re not allowed to look at that.

Of course, you can always circumvent this — but still, it’s a little weird that a company is trying to tell you what you can and cannot look at based on what it feels is right and wrong. But as long as eBaum’s World loads up fine, we don’t have a problem with it.
