OpenAI has launched ChatGPT Atlas, a new internet browser aiming to make web usage easier and more efficient through an integrated chatbot, but early experiences highlight its premium nature, with key features locked behind a subscription.

• Only about 5% of ChatGPT users currently pay for a subscription.
• OpenAI seeks to generate revenue to show a return on the billions of dollars invested by venture capitalists.
• The browser could gather a massive amount of user data, raising privacy concerns for users who prefer anonymity, according to senior analyst Stephanie Liu.
