OpenAI's ChatGPT-powered web browser, launched October 2025 as its bid to own the browsing layer. Dead in under ten months. OpenAI absorbed the agentic browsing into ChatGPT and a Chrome extension instead. Bookmarks did not transfer automatically — users had to manually export them as HTML before the deadline or lose them, and open tabs and history simply didn't carry over.
Collateral damage: Bookmarks required manual HTML export before August 9. Open tabs and browsing history were not migrated at all.
