OpenAI Enters the Browser Wars with Key Hire of Veteran Chrome Engineer
Tech giant Google is currently waiting for its fate regarding the Chrome
browser after the DOJ recommended a potential sell-out of its most
integral component.
As many anticipate the downfall of the
company in this regard, OpenAI seems to be focused on the prize. This
includes empowering its browsing potential by hiring one of Chrome’s
veteran engineers, Darin Fisher.

This
is clear evidence of the AI giant’s plans to create a web browser that
could potentially rid Google of its market dominance. For those who
might not be aware, Darin Fisher will bring plenty to the table after
working as Chrome’s top engineer in the past. This is just what the AI
giant needs to better its browser that could take on chrome. And what
better timing than now when the search engine giant faces increased
pressure to sell Chrome.
It’s certainly a massive development in terms of the company’s
expansion. It’s also a decision that firms OpenAI’s intentions of
dominating the market with browsing, giving users more alternatives.
We
did hear in the past how OpenAI was keen on putting together a team of
ex-Google developers so they could work on another browser project. The
company shared how it was discussing more on the matter to help offer
unique search features related to food, travel, retail, and real estate.
As
per another update seen on LinkedIn, Fisher did share how he joined
hands with OpenAI and looked forward to providing his expertise in
browser development to the firm. He’s also got plenty to offer as his
resume speaks of contributions made to Neeva, Mozilla, and of course
Chrome.
He’s been a part of Chrome from the start and therefore was hailed as a
pioneer expert who shaped the browser to transform into one of the best
and most widely used browsers today. Under his leadership, Chrome
managed to launch several other services such as minimalistic design and
multi-process architecture.
This is also what gave Chrome its
signature characteristics including the best speed, stability,
simplicity, and privacy amongst others. And instead of coming up with a
cross-platform network, he suggested creating each operating system
independently, beginning with Windows and then moving on to Mac and
Linux.
The decision is one that really gave rise to optimal performance on
every platform at the start. So he clearly brings a lot to the table for
OpenAI.
