Perplexity’s AI-powered Comet browser is part of a rising trend toward AI browsers, but whether it’s the future or just a pricey experiment remains to be seen.

OpenAI set to launch AI browser in coming weeks and anticipates to directly compete with Google by taking advantage of ChatGPT active users.

If OpenAI does start offering users access to its own browser, it would be following Perplexity, which released a browser with agentic AI functions on Wednesday. That browser, Comet, is currently only available to those with a $200 per month Perplexity Max subscription. Opera also released a "fully agentic" browser back in May.

A test of the app Dia illustrates that the humble web browser may be the path to making artificial intelligence more natural to use.

If Chrome feels more like a chore than a choice, these Android browsers offer privacy, speed, and features people actually care about.

A new tool turns otherwise legitimate extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox into bots that make your browser someone else's tool, and gets them paid in the process.
