About Comet Browser
Comet Browser is an AI-powered web browser associated with Perplexity that emphasizes agentic search and privacy-oriented browsing. It targets a modern Windows 11 look-and-feel and aims to integrate advanced search capabilities directly into the browsing experience while remaining Chromium-compatible. Community and experimental implementations (including Electron-based projects) exist, and extensions/compatibility (e.g., AdGuard) have been discussed publicly as the product evolves.

Key Features
Agentic Search Integration: Integrates Perplexity's agentic search approach to surface AI-driven search results and streamline query workflows within the browser interface.
Chromium Compatibility: Built to be Chromium-compatible so existing Chrome extensions and web features can work or be adapted for Comet (though specific extension support has had compatibility discussions).
Privacy and Tracker Controls: Emphasizes privacy features and controls intended to limit tracking and improve private browsing experience, a core element raised by users and extension developers.
Windows-11-Focused UI: Community and experimental builds (including Electron-based iterations) prioritize a modern UI and UX tailored for Windows 11 aesthetics and workflows.
Developer & Community Builds: Early releases and community repositories provide pre-release downloads and source builds; developers can run or experiment with local Electron/Node-based builds.
Extension Compatibility Diagnostics: Public issues and discussions (e.g., AdGuard) show active testing and diagnostics around how ad-blockers and other extensions install and function under Comet's environment.

Use Cases
AI-driven research workflows where users want agentic search results and follow-up queries without switching between separate apps or tabs.
Privacy-conscious browsing where users rely on built-in tracker and ad controls to reduce profiling while searching and visiting sites.
Extension testing and adaptation by extension developers (AdGuard and others) who need to ensure compatibility with a Chromium-compatible but distinct browser build.
Windows 11 users seeking a browser with a modern, native-feeling UI/UX tailored to the OS aesthetic and interaction patterns.
Early adopters and developers who want to run pre-release or source builds (Electron/Node) to test features, contribute, or prototype integrations.
Research and productivity sessions that combine standard web browsing with AI search capabilities to accelerate information discovery.
Using an AI/agentic search-enabled browser for conversational or context-aware web search
Privacy-focused browsing within a Chromium-compatible shell
UI/UX experimentation and prototyping (Electron-based desktop browser shell)
Testing and adapting browser extensions for a new Chromium-based browser (Manifest V3 compatibility)
Developer/local builds for testing features: clone repo, npm install, npm run dev
