ChatGPT’s Mac browser just got new features, like iCloud passkeys

ChatGPT Atlas launched last month as the latest AI-infused browser, and today Atlas added nine new features to its Mac app, including iCloud passkey support.

ChatGPT Atlas update lets you set Google as default search engine, use vertical tabs, and more

Chrome has long been the browser to beat, and many AI-driven startups certainly have tried. The latest contender, however, seems to have the best shot yet.

OpenAI launched ChatGPT Atlas last month, bringing the power of ChatGPT directly into the browser experience.

Today, Atlas product lead Adam Fry posted on X about the app’s latest Mac update:

Atlas has nine new features total, per Fry’s post.

Vertical tabs is a big one for fans of that browser design, and the ability to set Google as the search default is a nice move, albeit surprising. Extensions import will help new users get up and running faster, too.

Also, Fry says the app now offers iCloud passkey support. Based on a quick browse of the updated app, this means you can create passkeys on websites that are then saved in iCloud. Sites that offer to upgrade existing accounts into passkeys should work with Atlas too.

Overall, the latest Atlas update addresses a lot of early missing features from the browser and makes it easier for early adopters to make Atlas their default.
