Question: Just how is OpenAI going to monetize this?
Just wanted to say thanks all for continuing to share feedback for the Atlas team! We've passed all of it along to the folks working on it.

How about a “click to dial” functionality for CRM usage
Hi Atlas team,
I love using the new Atlas browser and I have two suggestions that I think would significantly improve accessibility and usability:
1. Add support for macOS-style “Speak Selected Text.”
In Safari, Chrome, and other macOS applications, I can highlight any specific sentence and choose “Speech → Start Speaking.” Atlas doesn’t seem to support this yet. Being able to highlight a specific piece of text (on a webpage or in the side chat) and have it spoken aloud would be extremely helpful for accessibility and focus.
2. Add a “Speak Response” button inside the side chat.
I haven’t seen an option to have ChatGPT read its replies aloud in the Atlas side-chat. Adding a small “audio playback” button beside each message would make the side panel much more usable, especially for hands-free browsing or users who depend on auditory feedback.
Thanks for considering these improvements — they would make Atlas dramatically more accessible and user-friendly.

Hi Team,
A few more ideas:
- open access to AI from extensions (e.g., add some rate limiter like for codex, even shared one would do) so that multiple developers may build on Atlas capabilities
- (overall allowing Link with ChatGPT to 3rd party services for sharing compute credits would be a fun idea to play with, that could create more platform lock-in as now vendors may switch APIs at will not caring about user preferences, while if the user logins with ChatGPT providing access to their own credits, the user is in control and they are less likely to change provider;
- that would also boost some app developers as AI-related cost would be moved to user-side allowing them to lower their prices for OpenAI-enabled integrations)
- make Cmd+Return always work:
- I have Google Search as default, ChatGPT opens on Cmd+Return; but for long queries ChatGPT becomes default, which is fine-ish on its own, but now it only works when I press Return while Cmd+Return doesn’t do anything, which breaks muscle memory
- Cmd+Enter should always run fallback engine, even if it is now also considered primary
- // my personal love note: adding support for spatial web, like spatializing pages, once you launch on Vision Pro — but — I do understand that you won’t do that as this is a VERY niche demand that won’t matter for the next few years, and will likely be closed by upstream vendors
Hope that’s useful.
And thank you for all the work, I love the product, its speed of evolution, and openness of roadmap.
It’s been great seeing a lot of these feature requests being released so quickly 
Another small feature request: the ability to open local PDF files in a separate browser tab.
Use Case:
When you’re in a web meeting and sharing your browser window, it’s super useful to open local files in other tabs so you can easily toggle between them - without needing to share your entire screen.
Please add support for allowing extensions to run in Incognito mode
Right now there’s no way to enable them for private windows, which limits workflows that rely on separate sessions or privacy. A simple chrome “Allow in Incognito” toggle would solve this
Please add back in the Chrome feature ‘Create Shortcut’, where you can create an app icon link to a web page that you can add to the desktop or dock.
Hey folks,
I’d love to see auto-translate built into the Atlas browser. Right now I have to jump between tabs and external tools whenever I land on a non-English page, and it breaks the flow.
It would be awesome if there were a simple “translate this page” toggle or auto-detect function to make browsing smoother.
Since the launch of ChatGPT Atlas, I’ve encountered two significant issues that impact usability and strongly urge the development team to address them:
-
Severe Limitation on Extensions
Atlas currently blocks most browser extensions on chatgpt.com, including widely-used tools such as AdGuard and Tampermonkey. Strangely, these extensions function perfectly on Chrome, yet Atlas, positioned as a browser that enhances ChatGPT integration, restricts them. This seems counterintuitive—supporting extensions to increase user freedom and flexibility should actually be one of Atlas’s key selling points. -
Inability to Copy/Paste in Developer Tools
On macOS 15.1, I noticed that copy/paste functionality is entirely disabled within Atlas’s F12 developer tools, severely hampering routine debugging and reporting workflows. It’s baffling that such a fundamental feature is malfunctioning.
I sincerely hope the Atlas development team can swiftly address and rectify these issues to enhance the browser’s overall competitive edge.
Looking forward to the team’s response. Thank you!
