Quick question: Does anyone else use an AI-powered browser or tool? If you use an AI-based browser, it seems to get detected and blocked much faster. I noticed whenever I use my work desktop with Comet, Zazzle really doesn’t seem to like it.
I use Edge, Chrome, and Safari all with AI turned on where memory is available and I haven’t had any issues at all. No blocking, no crashes, nothing unusual. For me, the AI enhancements actually make the browsers run smoother. I was part of a Gemini test awhile back and they threw a lot of features at me, so maybe I’m just more technical than I realized, but I really enjoy the AI tools. They make browsing easier, not harder.
I use Safari and sometimes Chrome.
I haven’t heard about Al powered browser, what is that?
To keep this brief:
The appeal of AI is that with the right tools, you can—or could—automate certain workflows. That said, Zazzle explicitly says not to do this: humans, no bots.
There are several AI tools with built-in browser automation. In theory, you could launch your session, log into Zazzle, and feed the tool prompts to update settings or rewrite product descriptions in bulk using a spreadsheet—completely hands-free.
This works on other platforms, but I don’t use it here. My day job requires me to test and work with these technologies, so I’ve seen what they can do. Personally, I wouldn’t spend the money on it anyway; my quirky dog niche doesn’t translate well into machine-generated outputs—luckily, or unluckily.
On the other hand, look at the ChatGPT mobile app. Once it’s set up with your account, you can use voice mode to give commands without touching a keyboard. From an accessibility standpoint, that’s a massive feature. For creators with physical limitations, it opens doors to work that simply wasn’t possible before. So, I don’t view it as inherently negative.
My concern is that some sellers are likely running fully automated, interconnected listing pipelines. It makes sense for larger operations and international teams—the tech is certainly there.
Still, churning out bulk volume doesn’t seem to work, and I’m definitely not a fan of generating random AI images just for the sake of it. As a non-native English speaker, translation tools are a lifesaver, but I also know that if AI had been around back when I started, I probably would never have bothered to learn the language myself. So I remain pretty skeptical overall.
For research, I actually prefer Perplexity over other tools. But when using it alongside the Comet browser, it gets pretty annoying because in computer/agent mode, it loves to autonomously navigate through web pages on its own. It seems to be one of those tools that already has automation down completely. However, during testing I quickly realized that Zazzle catches onto this almost immediately and locks you out.
Personally, I’m strictly a Safari user on Mac. I’ve never been tempted on this side by other browsers—it keeps my setup simple, predictable, and easy to manage.
But, on to much add’s there pages, I use Brave as browser.
I answered your question directly, and suddenly I’m reading a whole dissertation about automation, and personal skepticism. And none of that has anything to do with the discussion topic. “What browser are you using these days?” Honestly, I’m kind of lost. If you wanted to start a conversation about being worried that people are automating Zazzle, that probably would’ve been a better because that’s what your reply sounded like.
Also, just to add: a lot of sellers use AI to help with titles, descriptions, keyword flow, grammar, and wording. Zazzle doesn’t have a problem with it. It’s basically the same as using Grammarly. Sellers need help with SEO, clarity, and word flow nothing wrong with that at all.

Let me clarify a few things:
I moved the original post in this thread out from another topic because it wasn’t totally relevant. The post was made in a Technical forum thread, and the question probably should have been in its own discussion thread anyways.
When I move posts like this I do sometimes add context to why a post is appearing how it is, but I felt this question was solid enough that I didn’t need to add any additional details. Regardless, the forum software does add a link back to the original discussion thread. This appears near the bottom of the post, just above the images of people’s member avatars.
Lately, some of the posts in this discussion have also gone off topic, and I’ve removed them from the discussion. I don’t think it’s particularly relevant that this question came from another topic. Please remember to stay on topic.
Everyone after you split the topic was off topic, because we were all confused. Maybe when moderators move a thread, they could add MOVED: before the title. That should help reduce confusion in the future.
Scott, the link you shared didn’t actually open to any of the split conversations, so I’m still confused about where those moved threads are supposed to appear, and it seems like if a discussion is split it should automatically show a note right next to the title(as a default maybe a dropdown box with New or split) with a link to the original discussion placed directly under that title so everyone can follow what happened, and everyone should get a notification because without that it’s very unclear for anyone who comes into the thread later and tries to understand, and when you say “please remember to stay on topic." I assume it means responding to what the OP actually posted or to the discussion title itself and not drifting into unrelated side subjects so the conversation stays useful and coherent for the person who started it and for anyone reading afterward. Is that what you mean?
Those posts are irrelevant to the topic of “what browser are you using these days?” In this case, I’ve moved them to the Moderator Archive.
I agree that not everything in the forums is as clear as it once was. We’re working on cleaning things up a bit.
As always, if anyone has questions or comments that are not related to the topic of the discussion please start a new discussion.
