I've been stuck at the installing stage on comet. gave up after 30 mins of waiting. tried twice yesterday.
Definitely there is a need for an AI-based browser in the market, wishing Comet the best of luck!
Just use Comet for a week and already had some funny experiences.
It tried to do some basic SEO formatting things for my Substack post and completely destroyed it. (luckily I had copied it before and could restore it)
It failed trying to find and click through a government online form (like I did before) but through clicking buttons that I would never have clicked myself, found accidentally the right form I was looking for (success by accident)
It successfully re-ordered my last Vitamin D from Amazon (great job at that!)
It found a perfect reply (in my voice and tone) to a Substack comment that otherwise would have escalated (this one is pretty basic but very helpful)
Looking forward to week 2! 😅
Best browser I have ever used. I honestly don't know how I got along without it.
Super snappy. Any power-features like query pinning, keyboard nav, or a “trust these sources” list?
I've been using Comet for the last few weeks (shoutout to @rajsb_ for the invite!) and it's been the first browser I've tried that successfully got me off of Chrome.
I think one of my favorite things about it is simply how much like Chrome it is. It doesn't feel like I need to change anything about my workflow, it just adds new features for me to use.
I've found that access to the assistant with the ability for it to take control of the browser has really reduced the amount of "busy work" I have to do. For example, a couple of weeks ago, I needed to pull the URLs of a bunch of different products, slightly change the URLs, and put all of them into a Notion doc. Instead of wasting my time doing that manually, I just had Comet do it. I walked away and made a coffee once I saw it was going. When I got back, I had a cup of coffee and the work was done.
I've had numerous other examples like this where I just set it up with a task and walk away or switch to some other work and come back to review the results. And having the screen context makes it super easy to ask questions quickly and get better answers. I'm actually finding myself shifting to web versions of my most used apps to take more advantage of Comet, even though I've historically preferred desktop apps.
I was starting to think I'd be stuck on Chrome for good, but Comet has successfully retained me. One of the rare products that has made a tangible impact in my productivity.
Got to test it yesterday. Really good. I miss all my chrome extensions. Like DarkReader esp. And the fact that its not logged into any of the services I use in chrome. But the agentic chat window in comet is really cool. So I will use it when I need to do some agentic mischiefs, I suppose 😬
Infact, I'm using Comet now to write this comment (but by my own hand typing, lol). I really need a better AI Browser to let me leave Arc.
Wow, turning search into an interactive journey is realy next-level—makes finding stuff feel way smarter and way less random, tbh. Big fan of where you’re heading!
No way, finally a place that actually helps kick off my research instead of just sending me down endless rabbit holes. Love this approach—how deep can Perplexity go on niche topics?
Perplexity wants to buy Chrome for $34.5B, but until that transaction closes, Perplexity Pro subscribers can now use Comet!
