Perplexity, Google Chrome and AI
Digest more
Perplexity launched its own browser called Comet, and I have a big reason to avoid it. Spoiler, it’s not the price.
Perplexity AI, the fast-rising search startup backed by Jeff Bezos, Nvidia and SoftBank, just launched its first web browser. Dubbed Comet, this AI-powered browser is designed to challenge Google Chrome ’s dominance, which still commands over 68% of the global browser market.
Comet, Perplexity's AI-powered web browser, is available now for people paying for the company's $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. The company offered the browser in a beta form for select Windows users in June, but now it'll join Google Chrome and The Browser Company's Dia in incorporating AI models directly into web browsing experience.
Perplexity's Comet wants to kill the click. OpenAI is poised to follow. Google Chrome might be next on the chopping block.
