Below: real pros and cons, privacy/security pitfalls, and a practical checklist to use AI safely without exposing personal or business data.
✅ why everyone suddenly loving ai browsers 💥
coz man, it makes boring stuff simple. u open 10 tabs – ai says “relax bro, i’ll summarise it”. need price check? it compares sites fast. and ya, it works inside ur login (amazon, youtube, etc.), so results feel personal. mini assistant inside the browser vibe.
⚠️ real talk – what can go wrong ? 😬
ai can get tricked like humans. researchers showed agents downloading fake “reports” that were malware 😭 and even buying from scam sites using saved info. browser stores passwords, cards, and sessions—one wrong click and bye-bye data.
🧩 quick pros vs cons ⚖️
