What if your browser could read the page with you and do the research legwork? Comet Browser combines Chromium-based web browsing with Perplexity’s AI assistant in a sidebar. Ask it to summarize material, answer questions about an open tab, or take on online research and planning tasks.
The sidebar assistant at work
Comet’s assistant can examine material in the current browsing context, including documents, videos, and product pages. Ask for a summary or a contextual answer without leaving the tab. Research tools also support citations and link management, so sources can stay connected to the information gathered.
For broader requests, agentic searches let users delegate tasks such as finding information, planning a meeting, or comparing shopping options. Comet can also work with connected apps and provide product details such as prices and shipping times.
What can Comet’s privacy controls do?
Browser settings include tracking options and an ad blocker, with controls for how AI fits into browsing. Some AI tasks run on the PC itself rather than in the cloud. Profiles, search style, favorite sources and automations can all be adjusted.
Chromium extensions and browser imports
