OpenAI aims to make the user experience more functional with the latest update for its artificial intelligence-supported browser ChatGPT Atlas. With the update, a vertical tab feature reminiscent of the Arc browser was added to the browser. Now, instead of opening a new tab at the top, users can manage their tabs through a side panel on the left side of the screen. In this way, a more organized tab view is provided, while users can check more content at the same time.
The side panel with vertical tabs is equipped with some innovations not only in terms of appearance but also in terms of functionality. Users can adjust the width of this panel and change the order of the tabs, just like in the Arc browser. However, features as advanced as Arc are not yet available; For example, the address bar is still fixed at the top of the screen. To enable vertical tabs, simply right-click on the address bar and select the “Vertical Tabs” option from the “Tab Style” menu.
ChatGPT Atlas users can now choose Google as the default search engine
In addition to all this, it is now possible to set Google as the default search engine in ChatGPT Atlas. This change can be considered a logical step, considering that users sometimes use the browser as a tool to search on Google. While the search results are presented, there is also a link in the upper right corner of the screen that leads directly to Google search results. In addition, Atlas supports the search process by listing information collected from approximately 10 different sources to the user.
There are other notable features among the new updates. Users can now select multiple tabs and collectively drag them by pressing the Command or Shift key. In addition, extensions can be transferred from existing browsers when downloading the Atlas browser, but this feature is currently only available for new users. A more advanced download interface is also available with the update. Additionally, iCloud keychain password support has been integrated into the system.
ChatGPT Atlas, which was launched on the macOS platform last month, was one of the notable options among artificial intelligence-supported browsers, along with Perplexity’s Comet and the Gemini extension in Google Chrome. In addition to directly entering an internet address through this browser, users can also ask questions directly; The answers are provided by ChatGPT.
