OpenAI has expressed interest in acquiring Google's Chrome browser if it were to be put up for sale. This statement was made by ChatGPT chief Nick Turley during a court hearing in Google's ongoing antitrust trial. Turley mentioned that acquiring Chrome would enable OpenAI to offer a unique AI-first browsing experience, .

The trial, led by the U.S. Department of Justice, aims to determine necessary changes to Google's business practices after a ruling that the company monopolized the online search market. The Justice Department has suggested that Google should divest Chrome as part of the resolution.

OpenAI has reportedly been considering the development of its own web browser to compete with Chrome. The company has already taken steps in this direction by hiring former Google developers Ben Goodger and Darin Fisher, who were part of the original Chrome project. This move aligns with OpenAI's broader strategy to enhance its presence in the web browsing and search market.
