this thing is a security nightmare

AI-powered browsers like ChatGPT Atlas and Comet pose significant security and privacy risks. These browsers grant AI models access to complete browsing history and habits, creating privacy concerns even when opt-out settings exist. More critically, they're vulnerable to prompt injection attacks where malicious websites can embed hidden instructions that hijack the AI agent controlling the browser, potentially stealing sensitive data like authentication codes. The fundamental flaw is combining an AI system that ingests arbitrary content with browser control capabilities, creating attack vectors that even OpenAI's CEO acknowledges can only be 95% mitigated. Ironically, these AI companies build their browsers by forking Chromium rather than using AI to write code from scratch.
