OpenAI is working on a web browser that could compete with Google Chrome, The Information reports. The ChatGPT-maker has reportedly hired ex-Google developers such as Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, some of the team who worked on the original Chrome project.

OpenAI hires Chrome veteran Darin Fisher, signaling plans to develop web browser challenging Google's market dominance.

According to a recent scoop by The Information, OpenAI will also develop another search product called NLWeb that enables users to interact with partner websites conversationally.

The measures, if they are ordered, threaten to upend a business expected to generate more than $300 billion in revenue this year.

Efforts by U.S. antitrust regulators to break up Alphabet by forcing a sale of its Google Chrome browser and other proposals to limit its search dominance are likely to run into legal challenges on grounds the remedies are extreme.

The Justice Department wants the search giant to divest the Chrome web browser, among other provisions designed to limit its market power.
