The browser wars are back with AI at the center. Tracy Lee, Brandon Mathis, and A D Slaton break down OpenAI Atlas, Perplexity Comet, Arc and Dia from The Browser Company, and what agentic browsing means for Google, SEO, and engineering workflows. We dig into privacy and tracking with referrer headers and Braze, prompt injection risk, accessibility, and why LLM first interfaces may change front end work as we know it. Plus Cursor 2.0 vs Claude Code, terminal first dev flows, Super Whisper voice coding, MCP, and what is actually working inside companies right now.

What You Will Learn

- How AI browsers like Atlas, Comet, Arc, and Dia change web discovery and daily workflows

- Why Chromium dominance matters but doesn’t guarantee Google wins in an LLM-first world

- Agentic browsing fundamentals and how “chat as the address bar” reshapes search behavior

- Practical impacts on SEO and accessibility and why semantic structure becomes table stakes

- Real UX tradeoffs from an agent booking flow speed, reliability, and privacy boundaries

- Security realities prompt injection, auth considerations, and what to harden first

- Voice-to-code workflows using Super Whisper and when hands-free dev actually helps

- Agentic coding vs inline copilots Cursor 2.0, Claude Code, and diff-first review habits

- Spec-driven prompting write the plan in markdown then “implement this plan” at scale

- How engineering roles shift toward orchestration, observability, and feature-level verification
