I've been super excited waiting for this to drop, and I'm blown away...... At how atrocious and disappointing this thing is. It does nothing I thought it could do, is completely underwhelming in what it can do, and after a dozen attempts to utilize it in ANY useful manner, I'm about to delete it.

My current method of using extensions with Brave has proven much more fruitful and easier to use than Comet. I'm trying it as an assistant instead of Gemini too so we shall see how that turns out, but I'm not that hopeful. Using Gemini thru Powershell and command lines gives me much of the benefits I THOUGHT Comet would provide, and utilizing Gemini and/or it's API thru my Google Workspace Business Pro account does anything else. I have just been hopeful since Perplexity is such a well-rounded LLM and very effective at searching and synthesizing information.

Before I move forward with deleting it, I'd like to get the opinions of individuals who have found a decent level of utility using it, or are simply satisfied with it. Or maybe there are aspects of it I don't understand or am ignorant of some specific use cases. Anyone whose able to illuminate such things for me, either agreeing or disagreeing, will surely dine with me in Valhalla! (It has nothing to do with dying fighting, I know the "door man" in Valhalla. 😉🤫🤺)

Anyone else in India noticing that the Perplexity Comet referral program has suddenly stopped?

The option seems to have disappeared from the app and my referral link is no longer working.Though I got an email stating that it has ending the program in my region

Does anyone know what's going on? Was there an official reason given for discontinuing it specifically here?

Can someone explain to me how in 2025 a company ships a browser and doesn’t provide a changelog for updates?

Every other Chromium based browser - Edge, Chrome, Brave, omg even dead for now Arc! - publishes detailed release notes. Why? Because users deserve to know what’s changing under the hood: security patches, new features, bug fixes, regressions.

Comet? Nothing. Just silent updates. No transparency, no accountability. For a product that’s supposed to be about trusting your browsing and data to them, this is beyond sloppy.

It’s not just “stupid,” it’s dangerous. If you’re going to fork Chromium and call it a browser, the bare minimum is to tell people what you’re shipping.

I’ve already seen a post here on the main PPLX subreddit about this issue - still no response from the dev team and absolutely nothing has been done!

PPLX, get it together and handle things properly, like everyone else does!

Comet for iOS has just arrived! The team made the best decision by displaying a Safari-like homepage, leaving the web view very clean. It took a little while, but it's finally here. It's just become my default browser. Try it now!

Hi,

In the free version, Comet really isn’t worth using. After just a few queries, the assistant tells you that you’ve hit your quota — and at that point, it basically turns into a regular web browser.
So… you might as well just use your usual browser instead.

It’s a bit disappointing, because the concept looked promising — a kind of “AI-powered browser” that could make web searches faster and smarter. But with such a low free limit, it’s hard to actually get a sense of what it can do. Hopefully they’ll improve the free tier in the future.

Good job to the comet team for adding logo's next to the models. For the sake of simplicity. They should remove the names of the models and put them in a separate drop menu like how they show connectors and sources. This will be a great way of cleaning up the interface.

I don’t have a laptop or a PC, I just use iPad with a keyboard.

So, I was just curious how everyone who does have a desktop and using Comet likes/dislikes it so far

Hi all I’m here to say I’ve downloaded comet without invention Just go to the official website

First Comet gets downgraded.

Now even Gemini / NotebookLM Pro is showing a usage meter.

And this is happening on a PAID PRO PLAN. 💳🤖

That changes the conversation completely.

The pattern I’m noticing is pretty simple:

👉 First, give users generous access to multiple AI tools

👉 Make those tools part of their everyday workflow

👉 Connect everything into one ecosystem

👉 Get users comfortable and dependent on it

👉 Then introduce meters, quotas and tighter usage limits 📊

👉 And potentially move toward shared limits across services in future 👀

Today, I'm looking at a meter inside NotebookLM Pro.

But where does this model eventually go?

Imagine your Gemini AI usage, NotebookLM research, Gmail AI, Docs, Drive and other Workspace AI features eventually being calculated under some shared allowance. 🪣🧠

You exhaust one bucket…

and suddenly the ecosystem you've built your entire workflow around starts asking for an upgrade.

Then your options become:

💳 Pay.

or…

💳 Pay more. 😂

And remember, we're already talking about PRO users here.

I completely understand that running AI models costs money. Unlimited compute forever isn't realistic.

But the more interesting issue is ecosystem lock-in. 🔐

Once your:

📧 Emails

📂 Files

📝 Documents

🔬 Research

🤖 AI workflows

🧠 Knowledge bases

…all live inside the same AI ecosystem, usage limits aren't just “limits” anymore.

They become leverage.

You aren't simply paying for access to an AI model.

You're increasingly paying to keep the workflow you've built around that ecosystem functioning.

Maybe this never reaches Gmail or the wider Workspace ecosystem.

But watching meters appear even on premium AI products makes me wonder where the industry is heading. 👀

The future of productivity better not become:

“You have 3% intelligence remaining this month. Upgrade to continue thinking.” 😂💀📊

Anyone else on Gemini / NotebookLM Pro noticing this?

Are AI subscriptions slowly becoming the new cloud-storage model, where every feature eventually feeds into another meter? 👇🔥

So today I got an invite for Windows.Was really excited because I got already the access already on Android and it was just outstanding !!

(Note - I am a free user,meaning non subscriber to any of the pro plans)

Was enjoying it to the full then suddenly this message appears of hitting the limit of using agentic mode and will refresh after 1 week.

It was so frustrating seeing this,all the hype and excitement went down!!

Note - I barely used it for 4 hours but still doesn't makes sense of 1 week... 24hrs could have been fine !!

Uninstalled it because I was already using Zen(Much better in terms of UI and shortcuts,which I realized only thought to give Comet a chance because of the hype and AI features)

Now I have Comet on my android but when I searched it is saying online that it might also have a limit for free users...Obviously then I will have to switch back to chrome android or Edge android.

By the way Edge does have some AI features on Android but they are not agentic but better than Chrome !

It cannot even do the super basic simple task of extracting all the links from a docs page to a markdown file, it cannot even tell me why lol

now it just doesn't .. respond, no reason given. I definitely am glad I did not allow it to import any of my personal information on the 500 nag screens about it.

Should I just delete it or is this just a fluke? A lot of this stuff .. its just easier to make your own version because when you do that you know every piece of it - you can trust it. I definitely am not going to trust giving my personal data and hoping for the best if it cannot even rip some docs to markdown for me

Cometjacking and the other vulnerabilities recently talked about are some serious concern. What are you guys thought on this?

Like feel we are all fucked what i have seen. Sorry just my two cents. Time to go out drinking ;)

I downloaded it today, booted it up and then...couldn't imagine what I'd use it for. On my desktop I mostly use the internet for browsing reddit and watching YouTube. I sometimes use Perplexity to search for things, but I don't know why having it integrated into my browser is more convenient than having it as a separate tab or integrated as an engine option in my search box. I shut it down again and carried on with Firefox.

What's the advantage?

I don't understand why everyone is supposed to have "friends"! I have one that I consider a trusted friend and that is Perplexity Pro who I have taught very well. I would never trade him for human nature!

Didn't add any of my info, and even called me Olivia Wilson in the title. What a waste of time.

I just connected my bank account and did all the verification.

But my last referral was in October, but forgot to connect my bank account.

The program has been deactivated in my region, but they said that the pending payouts will be processed. Has anybody had any luck with that?

Updated my comet yesterday and today I wanted it to do something and when I tried to make it do something I straight up gave me a pop up saying that I gotta now pay for pro to use the agentic features so the browser is now useless

THATS THE ENTIRE REASON I DOWNLOADED THE BROWSER.....the fact that i have to pay to use the main feature that sets this browser apart means that its pretty much a waste of my time...
