Dear Community,
Adam Fry, the Product Lead for ChatGPT Atlas is asking for your input on which features to add next!
If you don’t have an account there, feel free to post your wishlist here instead.
Looking forward to hearing what you’d love to see next!
Hi team,
I’d like to request that the ChatGPT Atlas browser include full access to the browser’s developer tools. As a data scientist, I often work with interactive dashboards and web-based notebooks that load dynamic content from APIs and run heavy client-side scripts. When something goes wrong, the developer console is the only way to inspect network requests, debug JavaScript, and understand how the DOM is changing.
Having dev tools available in Atlas would make it possible to diagnose issues with interactive visualizations (for example, if a D3 or Plotly chart fails to render), monitor network calls to check that data is being fetched correctly, and profile performance on pages that process large datasets. This would greatly streamline debugging and optimisation of our data pipelines, especially when building prototypes that rely on web technologies.
Atlas already includes powerful AI assistance, and pairing that with standard developer tools would empower us to iterate quickly and produce better analyses. Please consider enabling the developer console so that data scientists and developers can fully leverage Atlas for end-to-end workflows.
i’d like to suggest adding devtools as a tab inside chatgpt atlas instead of opening it in a separate window. it would be much better if devtools could appear as a tab or docked panel within the main atlas window, so i can easily inspect elements and ask chatgpt questions about what i’m seeing. this would make debugging web pages much smoother.
I want to use this browser. I love the integrated ChatGPT feature. However, I cannot stand being forcibly restricted to an ecosystem. I want to use ChatGPT for 90% of things, but for 10% of things, I still need Google.
Until this customization is complete, I can’t use this browser. When I search for a URL, I don’t want to wait 5 seconds for a ChatGPT summary of what I am looking for, I just want a half a second google search result where I can pick the top entry.
When I search for a product, I don’t want a ChatGPT summary of what I’m looking for, I just want the link to the product
When I search for documentation, I don’t want a summary of the search results, I just want a link to the documentation served immediately
I love Atlas because a lot of the time I do what the ChatGPT summary, but by not giving me a choice, and forcing me away from using non AI search (which is still a very valid use-case) makes this browser unusable for me unfortunately
As as grad student, tab organization is the key feature for me! Once Atlas adds “Tab Groups”, ideally similar to Safari, where you can assign a tab group to the current window, I would make Atlas as my default browser.
was wondering if you could add touchbar support? considering touchbar support goes up to M2, it would be good to see some support for it on atlas. also, currently images don’t load when using chatgpt. would be great if you could fix that as well. also, passkey support would be good. logging into things with touch id would be alot easier. edit: images are now loading 
There is one basic function missing: the ability to change the default download folder and have the browser ask each time where to save downloaded files.
Thanks.
would also be great for there to be a limited version of agent mode on the free plan. but what i would really love is if you had an option to take away to home page and make the home page just google. so instead of a being a browser with chatgpt, it being a browser with chatgpt integrated into it
Cross platform sync please. I have two mac and it is frustrating to not having them sync the bookmarks, reading list, settings, and historys.
Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing the updates.
Hi Atlas (Action-)Browser-Team
Topic: Atlas needs native app integrations
ChatGPT can only become the new standard interface for the web if Atlas supports direct, low-latency API integrations with major services — not just search and parsing.
Right now, ChatGPT’s answers often depend on web scraping or browsing, which is too slow for real-world tasks. The real advantage would come from apps like Booking, Expedia, Bloomberg, or LinkedIn being (natively) integrated inside the Atlas browser — allowing ChatGPT to fetch structured data instantly and act on it.
Google still dominates because it’s faster at delivering indexed information. OpenAI’s strategic path should be to skip search entirely and move straight to action through apps. That’s how ChatGPT could define the new industrial standard — not by finding information, but by executing it.
Atlas has the potential to become the world’s first action-browser, but only if it moves beyond search speed and into native app speed.
Best regards, Othmar
Allow a way to link to a custom gpt / chat in a way that would open it in the side panel and not in a new tab
Thanks to everyone who’s already shared their feature requests!
Here’s a roundup of additional requests posted elsewhere in the forum for better visibility. Most of them focus on quality-of-life improvements — which makes sense for a tool we use as much as a browser.
And these upgrade suggestions are from this topic:
I’ll end this summary by making my own wish:
Keep the suggestions coming and I’ll keep the list updated!
After Atlas opens a YouTube video in fullscreen on macOS, exiting fullscreen consistently sends the browser to a different virtual desktop (Space). To return to the original desktop, Control + Right Arrow is required every time.
Repro steps:
Open a YouTube video in Atlas on macOS.
Enter fullscreen mode.
Exit fullscreen.
Expected behavior:
Atlas should remain on the same desktop after exiting fullscreen.
Actual behavior:
Atlas jumps to another virtual desktop.
System details:
Mac model: MacBook Pro (M3 Max, 14 cores)
Memory: 36 GB
macOS: 26.0.1 (25A362)
Kernel: Darwin 25.0.0
System Integrity Protection: Enabled
Atlas version: 1.2025.288.15 (f7439af9eb)
This issue occurs 100% of the time.
Has anyone noticed this issue? You can’t use your keyboard shortcuts in Atlas? For instance, if I type “zpol,” I get a keyboard shortcut that prompts ChatGPT to polish my writing. However, this does not occur in Atlas. It works fine in other applications such as Perplexity, Microsoft Word, and messaging (pretty much everywhere except Atlas).
After seeing the Post-launch list, I wanted to add a quick bit of feedback based on the past few weeks using Atlas as my primary browser.
Split screen support
I rely on side-by-side browsing for productivity. Arc completely nailed this. Comet has a basic version. Atlas needs this in the post-launch roadmap. Without it, I struggle to work efficiently, which is forcing me back to Comet for now.
Password manager disable option
I use 1Password exclusively and the built-in password manager keeps interfering. I’ve taken the steps to disable autofill, both browser and OS (even Safari). I know its an Atlas bug because I don’t have the same issues in Arc, Comet, Zen, Chrome, Brave, etc. It would help to have Atlas fully respect the disabled options.
Atlas has huge potential for AI-powered productivity, and these two changes would make it far easier to adopt, for me at least.
I would like an option to exclude search history and sidebar-assistant chats from being saved to my chat history by default.
I perform many searches and queries with the sidebar assistant every day, and this completely clutters my chat history. This is annoying to me.
Comet has this incognito mode (not browser incognito; you still have browser history and cookies, but it disables Perplexity from saving your chats) that makes a lot of sense to me.
Would love to see better tab organization or maybe a workspace feature where I can group research and projects separately. Also, syncing settings across devices would be super helpful for people who switch between laptop and desktop a lot.
I didn’t thoroughly check to see if this was said by anyone else but…
Windows Version Please! Before adding new features!
I have a bug report, I hope this is the correct space to report it. Otherwise, please accept my apology and guide me to the correct channel.
Apple ID Login Fails - No Autofill or Sign-In Prompt on macOS
I have exhausted other help resources on this and have tried everything suggested to fix this. Kindly advise if this is a known bug or if this submission will allow for investigation.
This screenshot shows that the normal popup to authenticate using Apple ID does not show, but instead you are asked to add email address and password.
I can confirm the following:
Thank you in advance.
