While AI features have been creeping into pretty much every popular browser for the past couple of years now, most of them don’t actually change how you browse the web.

Every “fresh” design trend you love is probably stolen—from Soviet posters to 80s neon, from Bauhaus to Blade Runner. We’re not inventing; we’re remixing.

Generative AI (genAI) is reshaping how people search for information. Anyone watching their content pageviews decline is currently experiencing the impact of this. But what’s behind the shift?
