推出 Arc 浏览器的初创公司 The Browser Company 去年夏天推出了:https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/11/the-browser-company-launches-its-ai-first-browser-dia-in-beta/ Dia:https://www.diabrowser.com/。这个以 AI 为核心的浏览器看起来类似于 Google Chrome,但有一个 AI 聊天工具。
Dia 旨在帮助用户更轻松地浏览网页。它能够查看用户访问过的每个网站以及他们登录的每个网站,从而帮助你查找信息和执行任务。例如,Dia 可以提供用户当前浏览页面的信息,回答有关产品的问题,并总结上传的文件。
Opera 在 2025 年 5 月加入了:https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/28/operas-new-browser-can-code-websites-and-games-for-you/ AI 代理浏览器大战,推出了 Neon:http://www.operaneon.com,该浏览器具有上下文感知能力,可以进行如研究、购物和编写代码片段等操作。值得注意的是,它甚至可以在用户离线时执行任务。
Neon 目前适用于 macOS 和 Windows。订阅费用为每月 19.90 美元。
去年十月,OpenAI 推出了其 AI 驱动的网页浏览器,名为 Atlas:https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/21/openai-launches-an-ai-powered-browser-chatgpt-atlas/。该浏览器允许用户在聊天机器人内询问 ChatGPT 关于搜索结果的问题并浏览网站,而无需跳转到外部链接。浏览器还提供了“代理模式”,用户可以通过该模式让 ChatGPT 代表他们完成任务。
Ladybird:https://ladybird.org,由GitHub联合创始人及前CEO Chris Wanstrath领导,其使命相比竞争对手更加雄心勃勃——它旨在从零构建一个全新的开源浏览器。这意味着它不会依赖现有浏览器的代码,这是一个很少有人成功完成的壮举。大多数替代网页浏览器依赖于由Google维护的Chromium开源项目,这是许多浏览器最广泛使用的基础。
这款由 Y Combinator 支持的浏览器已经存在几年了:https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/16/sigmaos-raises-4-million-to-build-a-browser-for-productivity-nerds/,并且引入了更多 AI 功能:https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/yc-backed-sigmaos-browser-turns-to-ai-powered-features-for-monetization/,包括总结网页各种元素的能力,例如评分、评论和价格。它还拥有一个 AI 助手:https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/02/sigmaos-launches-a-contextual-ai-assistant-for-its-browser/,可以回答问题、翻译文本和重写内容。
Zen 浏览器:https://zen-browser.app 旨在通过其开源浏览器创造一个“更平静的互联网”。Zen 允许用户将标签组织到工作区,并提供分屏视图,可并排查看两个标签,以及其他以生产力为中心的功能。用户还可以通过社区制作的插件和主题增强浏览体验,例如一个让标签背景透明的修改。

The browser wars have entered a new phase this year: The fight isn’t just over search results anymore — it’s over which company’s AI gets to act on your behalf inside the browser. Google Chrome and Apple’s Safari still dominate the market overall, with Chrome’s edge coming largely from how aggressively it has woven generative AI into search. But 2026 has brought a wave of new entrants — from well-funded startups to Big Tech — all betting that the browser is about to become less like a window onto the web and more like an assistant that gets things done for you.
The Browser Company, the startup behind the Arc browser, introduced:https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/11/the-browser-company-launches-its-ai-first-browser-dia-in-beta/ Dia:https://www.diabrowser.com/ last summer. The AI-centric browser looks similar to Google Chrome but has an AI chat tool.
Dia is designed to help users navigate the web more easily. It’s able to look at every website that a user has visited and every website they’re logged into, enabling it to help you find information and perform tasks. For instance, Dia can provide information about the page a user is currently browsing, answer questions about a product, and summarize uploaded files.
Opera entered:https://techcrunch.com/2025/05/28/operas-new-browser-can-code-websites-and-games-for-you/ the AI agentic browser war in May 2025 with Neon:http://www.operaneon.com, which has contextual awareness and can do things like researching, shopping, and writing snippets of code. Notably, it can even perform tasks while the user is offline.
Neon is currently available on macOS and Windows. The subscription costs $19.90 per month.
Last October, OpenAI launched its AI-powered web browser, called Atlas:https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/21/openai-launches-an-ai-powered-browser-chatgpt-atlas/. The browser allowed users to ask ChatGPT about search results and browse websites within the chatbot instead of being directed to outside links. There was also an “agent mode” for users to ask ChatGPT to complete tasks on their behalf.
However, the company recently decided to shut down the browser :https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/09/openai-is-shutting-down-atlas-but-its-ai-browser-ambitions-are-still-growing/and instead incorporate some of the agentic browsing capabilities into ChatGPT’s desktop app and Chrome extension.
Backed by Y Combinator, Aside:https://aside.com/ is an AI-first, browser-native automation platform built to autonomously complete tasks, fill out forms, and manage data on behalf of users. The company describes the experience simply: “Give it your passwords, browsing history, and browser context.” Unlike traditional automation tools that rely on integrations, Aside operates directly within the browser itself, allowing it to work across Gmail, Notion, Slack, Figma, and banking platforms.
Jatter:https://www.jatter.ai/ launched its AI-powered browser in June, giving users the ability to ask questions about any web page, uncover relevant insights, and receive personalized recommendations based on their browsing activity. Additionally, Jatter offers an integrated Notes app, so it can learn from that content, summarize notes, and surface key details.
Jatter is currently available on Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android devices. It’s free to use, but there’s an optional subscription for $10 per month.
DuckDuckGo:https://duckduckgo.com is another browser:https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/22/duckduckgos-windows-browser-is-now-available-in-open-beta/ that many people are probably already familiar with, thanks to its search engine by the same name. Launched in 2008, the company recently made significant investments in its browser to stay competitive by introducing generative AI features:https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/06/duckduckgo-leans-further-into-genai-as-its-ai-chat-interface-exits-beta/, such as a chatbot. It also enhanced its scam blocker :https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/19/duckduckgo-scam-blocker-detects-fake-stores-crypto-sites-virus-alerts-more/to detect a wider range of scams, including fake cryptocurrency exchanges, scareware tactics, and fraudulent e-commerce websites. In addition to blocking scams, DuckDuckGo prevents trackers and ads, and it doesn’t track user data, resulting in fewer pop-ups for users.
Ladybird:https://ladybird.org, led by GitHub co-founder and former CEO Chris Wanstrath, has an ambitious mission compared to rivals — it aims to build an entirely new open source browser from scratch. This means it will not rely on code from existing browsers, a feat that has rarely been accomplished. Most alternative web browsers depend on the Chromium open source project maintained by Google, which is the most widely used base for many browsers.
Vivaldi:https://vivaldi.com is a Chromium-based browser:https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/22/vivaldi-browser-gets-built-in-tracking-blocker-goes-ga-on-android/ created by one of the original developers of the Opera browser. Its biggest selling point is its customizable user interface, which allows users to change the appearance and enable or disable features. One unique feature is that the browser window changes color to match the website being viewed. Other key features include ad blocking, a password manager, no user data tracking, and productivity tools such as a calendar and notes.
Opera launched:https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/04/opera-launches-a-mindfulness-browser-with-break-reminders-and-soundscapes/ the Air browser in February 2025, becoming one of the first mindfulness-themed browsers in the space. While Opera Air:https://www.opera.com/air functions like a typical web browser, it includes unique features designed to support mental well-being. These features consist of break reminders and breathing exercises. Another feature, called “Boosts,” provides a selection of binaural beats to either help improve focus or relaxation.
SigmaOS:https://sigmaos.com is a Mac-only browser featuring a workspace-style interface that emphasizes productivity. It displays tabs vertically, allowing users to treat them like a to-do list that can be marked as complete or snoozed for later. Users can create workspaces — essentially groups of tabs — to better organize different activities, such as separating work from entertainment.
This Y Combinator-backed browser has been around:https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/16/sigmaos-raises-4-million-to-build-a-browser-for-productivity-nerds/ for a few years now and has introduced more AI features,:https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/yc-backed-sigmaos-browser-turns-to-ai-powered-features-for-monetization/ including the ability to summarize various elements of a web page, such as ratings, reviews, and prices. It also has an AI assistant:https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/02/sigmaos-launches-a-contextual-ai-assistant-for-its-browser/ that can answer questions, translate text, and rewrite content.
Zen Browser:https://zen-browser.app aims to create a “calmer internet” with its open source browser. Zen lets users organize tabs into Workspaces, and offers Split View to view two tabs side by side, among other productivity-focused features. Users can also enhance their browsing experience with community-made plug-ins and themes, such as a mod that makes the tab background transparent.
This story has been updated after publication to include newly launched browsers.
