The web browser battles get a youthful treatment in AI, and Perplexity sends a comic comet. The AI web browser should be launched this month, as the first was spotted by the test catalog.
Advice on the development of the developer of AI search engines for a browser have been seen here and there in recent weeks, including the new AA home page, separate from the main Perplexity website, a Learn Comet button on the web interface of perplexity of certain people, and even a briefly visible promotional video that perplexity has quickly deleted.
Based on the drop of information, it seems that perplexity launches the comet as a Google Chrome alternative which can help all the research you need online. Comet will apparently integrate into Google services, as well as to access your history and follow your navigation to respond in context to your requests. So, you could ask Comet to “find this thing that I was looking at on Sea Otters last Tuesday”, and that will dig up the article on the way they will hold out so as not to get lost. More keywords, passing or searching in all your open tabs like an archaeologist of your own disorganized spirit.
The eye on the grip of the chrome crown is not a hyperbole either. Perplexity CEO, Aravind Srinivas, has already boasted of how the comet Batra Chrome when it comes to reopening the old tabs, declaring that “Chrome is going out”.
On the comet, you can simply ask in English what you want to reopen specifically. No need to remember the fancy shortcuts. Chrome is going out. https://t.co/qcg6cokcx2April 30, 2025
Comet ai
Perplexity is trying to get ahead of the greatest obvious concern that some may have about the comet, namely privacy. The idea of a browser that reads what you are looking at and remembers what you did last week may seem practical for some, but like dystopian surveillance to others. Comet will have confidentiality parameters, including blocking native advertisements and an opt-out for data sharing.
Meanwhile, the competition is not stressed. Microsoft fulfills the more and more daring AI features on the edge, and of course, Google Chrome should unveil many new IA integrations at Google I / O this year. Comet will have to ensure that his AI help feels intuitive to stand out. If Comet’s IA can help you stay focused, organized and intelligent to sail in Internet chaos, this could attract many new users. Otherwise, it risks being considered as an unnecessary chrome extension.
Perplexity must overcome people to ask them if they really need another browser and promise to resolve your frustrations with your current one. If you are tired of being bombed with announcements and manually search your story, the comet, when it happens, could offer a welcome change.
