Instead of Comet
Comet alternatives
Comet is a free Chromium browser with Perplexity’s assistant built into browsing. It can answer questions about open tabs, search the web, compare information across pages, summarize or explain content, draft emails, schedule meetings, and make purchases. Built-in ad blocking, Chrome extension support, cross-device sync, and privacy controls round out the browser. Browsing data and credentials remain on the device, although page context may reach Perplexity’s servers when needed.

An alternative may suit you if you prefer another browser engine, stronger tracking defenses, open-source software, or broader platform coverage. Comet runs on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, and its assistant may require permission to connect email or scheduling services. Chrome extension data must also be configured again, and users should review actions before confirming them. Compare platform support, extensions, privacy controls, tracking protection, sync, and whether an integrated assistant outweighs a more conventional browser.
