OpenAI prepares deeper ChatGPT integration with Chrome
OpenAI is reportedly working on a new initiative called Atlas, designed to bring ChatGPT directly into Google Chrome. The project aims to create a more seamless link between AI and everyday web use, allowing users to interact with ChatGPT as naturally as they browse, search, or write online.
Atlas is expected to introduce features such as on-page summarization, search assistance, and intelligent task automation, all accessible within the browser itself. Early details suggest that users could highlight text, ask ChatGPT for explanations, or even draft responses without leaving the page.
This move reflects OpenAI’s broader strategy to make its language models part of the web’s core experience rather than a separate platform. By embedding ChatGPT at the browser level, OpenAI could shift how people engage with information—turning the web into a space where AI works quietly in the background, anticipating what users need next.
Apple and Epic Games return to court over App Store access
Apple has renewed its legal fight with Epic Games, claiming the Fortnite developer is trying to take advantage of the App Store’s reach without accepting its policies. The dispute traces back to 2020, when Epic deliberately bypassed Apple’s in-app payment system, leading to its removal from iOS.
In a recent filing, Apple said Epic wants “the benefits of the App Store without the obligations,” arguing that its commission model funds user safety, privacy, and global distribution infrastructure. Epic continues to argue that Apple’s fees are excessive and that its strict policies limit competition and innovation for smaller developers.
The case has become one of the most significant legal battles in tech, highlighting the growing tension between platform owners and developers. Both companies have positioned themselves as champions of fairness in the digital economy, yet their rivalry could ultimately determine how app stores operate and how developers earn revenue in the years ahead.

Insiders claim the character will play a crucial role in shaping the dual-protagonist narrative, pushing moral boundaries and testing player choices throughout the story. The inspiration is said to draw from real-life criminal networks and psychological thrillers, suggesting a more grounded and emotionally charged tone.
While Rockstar has not confirmed these details, fans are already dissecting every snippet of leaked dialogue and concept art online. With nearly a decade since GTA 5, the next chapter in the series is expected to raise the bar for open-world storytelling and character design.
