OpenAI’s AI Browser Bombshell Sends Google Shares Tumbling – AI Browser Wars Ignite
OpenAI will hold a livestream at 1 PM ET on Oct. 21, 2025, teasing a major product widely believed to be an AI-powered web browser. A brief teaser clip showed browser tabs, and CEO Sam Altman called it “a new product I’m quite excited about.” Alphabet shares fell 4% on the news, as investors worried about competition for Google’s core business.
