Comet Browser Could Replace Chrome: What Makes It Unique
Comet is not just a normal web browser. It is powered by large AI models like GPT-4o. It also uses Claude 4.0 and Perplexity’s Sonar model.
These AI tools help give answers quickly and clearly. Users don’t need to scroll long search result pages anymore.
Comet replaces Google Search with Perplexity’s answer engine. This AI engine shows smart replies before showing website links. The browser gives quick summaries of web pages and videos. It can even describe any image shown on the screen.
Comet also understands the user’s online activity deeply. It can read your open tabs and summarize them. You can ask it to do research on any topic. All this happens with just simple typing or speaking.
The browser is built using Chromium, which also powers Chrome. It can also import Chrome extensions and settings. Users can link their Google accounts for full access. This makes switching from Chrome to Comet very easy.

Smart AI Assistant Features
Comet comes with an in-built AI Assistant button. It appears on the top-right side of the browser. You can chat with the assistant using a simple sidebar. Ask it to send emails or manage your tabs quickly.
This assistant can also post on LinkedIn or unsubscribe emails. You can say, “take control of my browser and…” and it listens. It helps with tasks in a smart and silent way.
Comet can connect with third-party apps for better control. It reads calendar events and helps schedule meetings easily. Though some tasks may fail, the system keeps improving. The user can stop the AI anytime and take control.
Comet works on Mac and Windows right now. It’s available for Perplexity Max users or waitlisted people. More features may stay behind a paid plan in future.

Mobile Plans and Growth
Perplexity wants Comet to come preinstalled on phones. They are in talks with smartphone companies for this. They earlier worked with Motorola for deeper AI tools.
If Comet becomes the default browser on phones, things will change. Chrome and Safari may lose their strong position soon. Comet also offered one-year free Pro access recently. Airtel users may also get free premium features soon.
Comet’s monthly searches reached 780 million in May alone. Google still leads with five trillion yearly searches. But Comet grow fast every single month.
