Comet is a Chromium-based browser that combines the familiar web browsing experience you’re used to with powerful AI capabilities from Perplexity.
What does “Chromium-based” mean?
Chromium is an open-source web browser project that serves as the foundation for many popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Opera. When we say Comet is Chromium-based, it means:
Familiar Interface: Comet uses the same core browser engine and interface elements you’re already familiar with from other modern browsers
Web Compatibility: Comet can render websites and web applications just like Chrome, ensuring excellent compatibility across the internet
Extension Support: You can install most Chrome extensions in Comet, with the exception of extensions that alter the new tab page.
Standard Browser Features: Comet includes all the common browser functionality you expect, such as pinned tabs, bookmarks, page translation, autofill, and password suggestions.
What makes Comet different from other Chromium browsers?
While Comet is built on the Chromium foundation, it adds several unique AI-powered features:
Perplexity AI Integration: Comet uses Perplexity as its primary search engine, providing access to accurate, verified information instantly.
Personal Search with Comet Assistant: Leverages your browsing history and AI-driven web navigation to retrieve and analyze information on your behalf.
Built-in AI Assistant: Access the sidebar to summarize page content, verify information, find related content, and perform translations.
Integrated AdBlock: Built-in ad blocking for a cleaner browsing experience.
