2022 was the year that Artificial Intelligence started to gain widespread interest and public use. ChatGPT made it possible for anyone to generate lots of text based on short written prompts, and image generation tools that are based on written prompts started to both amaze and perterb people everywhere.
Since then, under the general term "Artificial Intelligence", these technologies have started to crop up in lots of online tools, including Search Engines and Web Browsers.
This page will be regularly updated to keep a track of what browsers have what "AI features" built into them, and which ones don't have any AI. Corrections and additions to these lists are very welcome.
