Our review

Comet is Perplexity's AI browser: a built-in assistant browses autonomously and completes multi-step tasks, search is strong, and it's now free — great for researching as you browse.

It's Chromium-based, the ecosystem is newer, and autonomous actions warrant privacy care; but if you want a browser that 'looks things up and compares for you,' Comet is one of the most complete experiences today.
