OpenAI — ChatGPT Search + native web browsing
history_edu The backstory
Perplexity built a beloved answer engine — cited, fast, conversational. Then ChatGPT Search and Gemini shipped native web browsing with citations, folding the core feature into subscriptions people already hold. Perplexity is wounded but fighting: its focused UX, source transparency, and Comet browser give it identity beyond "search in a chatbot".
