It’s been 7 months since Perplexity Comet — here’s my long-term review

AI browsers are everywhere, but only a few of them are actually worth using. Of all the AI browsers out there, I’ve been using Comet as my default web browser for the past 7 months. And there are two good reasons for that. First, Comet is based on Chromium, so all of my extensions work just fine, and there are no surprises when switching from Edge or Chrome. Second, Comet integrates Perplexity’s AI capabilities into the browser, giving it an edge over other rivals.

For the most part, Comet works great as a web browser, to the point where I didn’t miss my longtime daily driver, Edge. That said, it’s not perfect. There are some performance issues, and it’s missing a few features that I’d grown used to in Edge. But these are minor gripes, not dealbreakers. Seven months in, it’s still my primary browser.

Comet has a Perplexity edge
