Atlas Browser: Feature requests from the Developer Community

Feature request: Custom prompt buttons with site-based context

It would be very useful if Atlas could support custom prompt buttons in the UI. Clicking a button would automatically send a predefined prompt to ChatGPT.

Ideally, these buttons could be configured per website or URL pattern, so different pages show different prompt buttons (e.g. code review on GitHub, summarization on docs).

This would reduce repetitive prompt input and make Atlas a more efficient, context-aware assistant.

Aesthetic suggestion: can we make the “add to bookmarks” button a bookmark (or something else) instead of a heart? I don’t like feeling like I’m “liking” a page when I bookmark it, cause there are a lot pages I bookmark that I don’t like. I think other people might feel the same way?

The three-finger look up is not working in the browser. I don’t know if it’s important for anyone else but it’s a big deal for me reaching other options.

“Translate page to English”. How come a language-model-based browser launched without this feature? It is the reason I returned to chrome. You can’t live without it.

For me, I would say that two major things that prevent me from turning adolescent into my default browser:

  1. No, having the pin bookmarks gone every time I completely close off the browser.
  2. Having the browser crash every time I multi download files all at once.

I would say these are the two biggest bugs at the moment that really hurt the experience

As a ChatGPT Atlas user, on many occasions, I have to click on the side bar then ctrl+ a new chat to see the interface where “turn on temporary chat” then turn it on. The experience would enhance a lot if there was such toggle on Atlas main interface (screenshot below).

Hi Atlas team, thanks for the continued work and for implementing feedback I previously shared. macOS global hotkeys finally work, much appreciated.

A few small issues that would make a big difference, plus a request for performance improvements. Battery life is still a blocker: I recommended Atlas to two friends and both independently stopped using it due to battery drain (it’s better than the initial release, but still not great).

Requests

  1. New Tab: add the reasoning level picker
    On the New Tab ChatGPT entry point, there’s no selector for reasoning level (standard/extended/heavy). I often end up going to chatgpt.com just to set this, which defeats the whole purpose of the new chatgpt tab.

  2. Dictation button should persist everywhere
    In the main ChatGPT window, dictation works normally and the mic button remains available.
    In the sidebar chat and the initial New Tab chat, the mic button disappears after one dictation session and never comes back. Please make dictation controls consistent across all chat contexts.

  3. iPhone → Atlas Handoff is broken
    When I hand off a tab from iPhone to Atlas on macOS, nothing opens and Atlas doesn’t respond.

Again, thanks for taking a look.

Hello! Thank you for building Atlas. I wanted to share a few suggestions and describe some issues I’ve encountered:

  1. Keyboard shortcuts. At the moment, shortcuts only work reliably with the keyboard set to English. When using other layouts (for example, Russian), the shortcuts aren’t recognised. It would be great if hotkeys were bound to the physical keys rather than characters, so they’d work regardless of input language.

  2. Click layer and context menu. When viewing PDFs, the right‑click context menu sometimes opens far away from the pointer, as if the coordinates are offset. Additionally, after minimising Atlas, an invisible layer remains on the desktop that continues to intercept clicks until I restart the app. Please take a look at this click‑handling bug.

  3. Vertical tabs panel behaviour. In Arc, the tab panel opens and closes smoothly: it’s enough to sweep the cursor along the edge, even very quickly. In Atlas you have to keep the cursor at the edge for a while, and if you move it quickly in and out, the panel sometimes remains open until the opening animation finishes. It would be great if the vertical tabs panel reacted to quick movements as reliably as in Arc.

  4. Stale content buffer. When switching between many tabs, the content sometimes doesn’t refresh. For example, after opening a new file or document, the old version is shown — it seems the browser uses an outdated cache. I have to reload the page manually to see the current content. I’d love Atlas to always load the fresh content on tab change.

Thanks for reading — I hope these remarks help make Atlas even better.

PASSWORD SYNC, should not even be asked…
And also, the ability to download websites as apps, is fundamental to become the real chrome killer

for me it’s really missing the website translation feature and extension support in incognito mode

**ATLAS user for 100+ days. Used extensively for eBay listings and other various jobs - it works, and it replaced 10+ years google Chrome loyalty on my MBP setup. **

Feedback!
Atlas UX issue:
when a page opens in a new window, the originating chat session should open in that same new window.

Current behaviour breaks chat continuity and forces manual context recovery.

Expected behaviour: the new window inherits and focuses the triggering chat context.

Please add Ask where to save each file before downloading option on the browser setting menu.
Thank you

Allow chats started via the Atlas sidebar to be tagged or automatically routed into a specific ChatGPT Project. Right now I have to manually organize them afterwards in the ChatGPT app, which disrupts my workflow.

Hi OpenAI team,

I appreciate the thoughtful design of the Atlas browser and how it supports a focused workflow. One improvement that would really help maintain a clean workspace is an option to show the bookmarks bar only on the home/new tab page and automatically hide it once navigating to other pages. This way, I can keep quick access to key links when opening a new tab without cluttering my view during deep work sessions.

I searched the forum but didn’t find an existing topic requesting this feature; apologies if I missed something. It seems like a small change that could make a big difference in minimizing distractions while maximizing productivity.

Thanks for considering this feature!

Right now, closing an Atlas window clears all tabs, even the ones I have pinned or organized into groups. When I re-open the browser, my pinned tabs and groups are gone.

It would be great for pinned tabs and tab groups to behave more like a persistent dock so when I reopen Atlas, the grouped and pinned tabs from my previous session should still be there. Any unpinned or ungrouped tabs could still be cleared on close to avoid clutter.

Am I missing something or is there a way to see all the tabs that is opened in Agent mode in my tab strip and not hidden? Otherwise, can we please have that?

This one! I really need to have the bookmarks bar only on the New Tab page.
