A New Browser from Perplexity (perplexity.ai)

I like comet. Haven’t tried Altas so can’t give the best comparison. But comet is pretty transparent on how it handles data and lets you hand it a list of domains you want it having 0 access to.

Having said that, I’m still not convinced using it the last two weeks that it’s better than Brave. It’s a little slower and tries to direct more of what I search than I’d like through perplexity (I’m sure I could change the default search engine but I guess I’m also lazy and never looked).

Apparently it's a good year for anyone looking to try a new AI-powered browser. OpenAI scooped them with Atlas only by a day or two. Has anyone got an opinion having tried both?
I have enough problems with gratuitous hallucinations in my Google search results, I don’t need the browser as a whole to go off the deep end.
And there's already huge vulnerabilities. Whoda thunk.
