goodbye atlas
if anyone at openai is reading this:
you guys just killed one of your best products that ive been using since day 1. i know you had to kill agent mode because you built a better agent browsing setup in the chatgpt app. but there's so many little things that made atlas a joy to use DESPITE being functionally worse than chrome performance-wise:
- that minimal new tab experience, auto routing between google and chatgpt, fast loading content previews while i type
- ask chat button that opens a sidebar
- clicking chatgpt links seamlessly keeping chatgpt on the right while opening the page so i can chat and read at the same time
- the vertical tabs experience was genuinely good
- cmd + shift + C for copying page links
- cmd + { for auto closing the tab when it was opened from another tab
i understand you had to deprecate this but just kicking everyone out of the app without a decent replacement is really bad user experience. this makes it less likely to try anything you build in the future because you might just abandon this like google has done for nearly every product category in the last 10 years
before you tell me to try the chrome extension, i have and it sucks. its a glorified codex plugin thats draining my usage and it doesnt even have my other chatgpt chats. whats the point? this is a codex extension, not chatgpt.
anyways take this feedback, and make the chrome extension good fast please. we want CHATGPT not codex (and im saying this as a developer!)
