WSJ's tech editor says she's leaving Google and uses AI chat-bots instead!

To quote Nicole Nguyen today, "I’ve been using several AI web browsers lately. I’m never going back to the boring old kind.

An AI browser has a built-in chatbot that can see what’s open in your tabs. As you surf, you can type requests like: “Explain this.” “Is this the best price?” “Make it vegetarian.” Your artificial-intelligence browsing assistant instantly understands the context.

Browsers with advanced task-performing “agents” can click and type in your tab to complete tasks like filling a shopping cart.

You probably haven’t changed your web browser in a decade, because there was no reason to switch unless you had to. Now, there’s a dizzying number of new—better—options. This week alone, OpenAI announced the ChatGPT Atlas browser and Microsoft Edge added an agent to Copilot Mode. Gemini in Chrome, Comet from Perplexity and Dia from the Browser Company also all became free to a wider audience recently.

I tested the two main flavors—the assistants and the agents—and found benefits and risks in each. As with all AI interactions, anything you prompt will be sent to a company for processing, and the bot can make mistakes. Here are the safe ways to get the most out of them, and my vote for which one’s the best."

Personally, I favor ClaudeAI. And yes, I am more frequently using an AI Chatbot over the traditional Google Search. BAM.
