Tired of the same old browsing experience? Ditch Chrome and Samsung Internet because Perplexity, the AI-powered search engine company, just dropped its Comet browser for Android! And while the promo materials might feature sleek Galaxy phones, Comet is available for *all* Android devices. Get ready for a smarter, faster, and ad-free web experience right in your pocket.
## Comet Arrives for Everyone
After an “Early Access” period, Comet is now generally available on the Google Play Store. What makes it special? It’s all about leveraging Perplexity’s powerful AI to enhance your browsing. While Google integrates AI into its own app and Chrome, Perplexity aims to carve out its own space by offering a uniquely AI-driven alternative.
## Smarter Browsing, Built-In Ad Blocker
So, what can Comet do? For Samsung users, you can make Perplexity your default search engine, giving you instant access to AI-powered results. Comet also lets you reference open tabs in your queries to the AI assistant and use voice commands to easily search across multiple sites.
Perplexity boasts that Comet can research and even shop *for* you! Plus, a built-in ad blocker ensures a cleaner, less intrusive browsing experience. Imagine surfing the web without those pesky pop-ups and banner ads cluttering your screen.
## What’s Next for Comet?
The initial version of Comet is just the beginning. Perplexity plans to add even more AI-powered features, including a conversational agent that can search across sites and perform actions on your behalf. Think of it as a shortcut to getting things done online, with AI as your personal assistant.
There’s also talk of a native password manager being integrated. And with Perplexity’s increasing focus on the Samsung ecosystem – remember their recent AI app for Samsung TVs? – could we see a closer Samsung-Perplexity collaboration at the next Unpacked event? Keep your eyes peeled!
