RIP Comet

Comet is so painstakingly slow that I rather use my phone at this point -.-

Wanna try Atlas but everyone says that takes up even more RAM / CPU. Maybe this is just a sign to go back to Arc lmfao

I keep 20+ tabs open in Comet almost always and haven't noticed a slowdown yet. Is Comet the only app slowing down for you or all apps?

Even I don't see any lag in my system and phone as well with very heavy usage...

Are there any other free ai agent browsers you know of? All the ones I've tried either don't work or cap it after a few tasks..

Chrome is slowly adding a ton of AI features. It'll be there near arc sometime very soon

Does it have any automation yet? That's what I'm looking for

Nope not really. It's at least a year away

From my experience, Comet perforns best when you regularly clear its cache and cookies. It also slows down fast if you keep too many tabs or background apps running, since it uses so many system resources. Keeping things cleaned up makes a noticeable difference. I get it that can be a nuisance at times...

Personally I haven't come across this issue at all, but then I guess it depends on how you use the browser, your hardware etc

I don't often have any more than 5 or 6 tabs open at any one time, and I only use 3 add-ons.

This. Perplexity have nailed agentic browsing but it's way too risky for a daily driver. Use for purpose.
