His company just released Comet, an AI web browser for Mac and Windows that’s still in an invite-only beta. They can work on the Comet browser, especially if it’s something that has open standards, and we want to continue contributing to Chromium also. I might have a lot more time on my hands, so it’s not actually going to stop the regular browsing. A lot of people praised the Comet browser because it doesn’t feel like another browser. We are going to support a packaged version of the browser Comet within the Perplexity app, just like how the Google app still supports navigation like Chrome.
