Alternatives to ChatGPT Atlas: AI Browsers for Non-Mac Users

ChatGPT Atlas, OpenAI’s new AI-powered browser, launched recently and aims to rival established browsers like Google Chrome and Safari. A key feature is an AI assistant designed to follow users across the web and complete tasks. However, initially, it is only accessible to macOS users. For Windows, iOS, and Android users seeking similar AI browsing experiences, several alternatives have emerged.

Perplexity Comet is a significant competitor to ChatGPT Atlas, offering a similar Chromium-based experience allowing Chrome account logins and bookmark syncing. It replaces the standard Google search function with Perplexity’s own search. While it lacks some of Atlas’s advanced integrations, it provides core functionalities like restaurant bookings, flight searches, holiday planning, and product price comparisons through its built-in assistant.

Opera Neon, currently in early access, offers a comprehensive suite of AI tools. Access requires obtaining a code or joining a waitlist. Neon operates on three core principles: chat, do, and make, incorporating chatbot functionality, task automation, and “vibe coding” capabilities. This feature set comes with a monthly fee of $20.

Brave Leo AI prioritizes privacy and security. It does not retain or share user chats for training purposes and does not require logins. Similar to ChatGPT Atlas, Leo allows users to engage with AI chatbots to summarize pages, generate content, and handle translations. However, it lacks agent functionality—the ability for the AI to take actions on the user’s behalf.

Microsoft Copilot has been evolving its AI browsing capabilities for the past year. Recent updates include collaborative document editing and an integrated AI companion. Copilot can automate tasks, draft emails and documents, summarize information, and provide creative text suggestions. It operates on its own software, unlike competitors which utilize Chromium.
