    Perplexity has opened global access to its AI-powered Comet browser, now free for everyone.

    What to know
    • Originally $200/month, now available at no cost
    • Acts as a personal assistant: search, organize tabs, write emails, shop and more
    • Competes with Google’s Gemini in Chrome, OpenAI’s Operator and Anthropic’s agents
    Comet Plus adds premium content from CNN, Condé Nast, Washington Post and others
    • Mobile app and Background Assistant feature are coming soon

    Why it matters
    By dropping the price, Perplexity moves Comet into mass adoption territory. Think cleaner research, quick comparisons, booking help and summaries with trusted links, all without tab chaos. With Google, Anthropic and OpenAI pushing into the same space, the browser has officially become the new AI battleground.

    at least you get a free meal I guess. the right to user privacy is degrading year by year

    IDK though there's no point trying to throw targeted ads at me, ublock origin blocks them all anyway

    nah it goes way beyond that. typically collected user data gets sold to data brokers then they sell access to that data to 3rd parties who can use it for various purposes
    that profiling can then be used against you
    price discrimination for example; showing you higher prices based on your income and how much you're willing to spend
    it's the right to user's privacy that they're voilating
