What is Perplexity Comet?
Perplexity Comet is a web browser designed for the modern internet user. It functions as a contextual assistant, providing a unified interface for information gathering and analysis, and eliminating the need for continuous tab switching or manual searching. Key features include an AI-powered search engine, a contextual AI tool that interprets page contents in real time, and agent-style automation for tasks such as booking meetings and sending emails. Users can easily import their existing browser data and use their preferred Chrome-compatible extensions. The browser prioritizes privacy, ensuring user data stays local and isn't used to train AI models.

Comments and Reviews
Perpleixity Comet is better than other AI browsers for two reasons - it's availability (Mac , Windows , Android , iOS) , and also that it has one of the best ai search engines by default. In my experience , it hallucinated a lot while doing long tasks , it does not have cloud sync (yet) , and that the ad blocking is not too strong , as in removing the banners of the blocked ads. Would love to see improvements in this regard.
Another useless privacy nightmare from an AI company that wants you to be the product. The AI features are just a useless addition to what is otherwise a perfectly serviceable browser. This could just be an extension, but they need to collect as much user data as possible to justify the enormous expense of the useless AI model.
What has surprised me most is that Comet (Perplexity's browser) has actually led me to switch from Chrome as my default browser.

Summarising long-form videos. I listen to a lot of long-form podcasts, and the video summary feature is a godsend.
The ability to switch models and try out the latest frontier models. Admittedly, this is probably more fun than useful.
MCP connections. No copy-pasting to take notes or send things to a coding agent. Perplexity Notion Claude MCP integrations handle that for me.
Browser use! I can delegate tasks to it to automatically format docs, manage my X (Twitter) lists, build apps on Lovable, etc.
It's a decent browser. What's best about it though, is the fact it has themes based on Final Fantasy.
The agentic tool is slow and I dont use it. But I love the sidebar and new tab. It's super convenient and you can switch to the smart models. Way better than the OpenAI browser IMO.
A legot AI Search Engine
