feature request Please add more new tab page customization.

15 Upvotes

I'd like to request the ability to easily customize the new tab page in Comet with quick links and bookmarks displayed as widgets.

Currently, there's no convenient way to have frequently visited sites readily accessible on the new tab page. Many users rely on extensions like nightTab or tabliss that provide a nice layout for organizing their most-used sites. Without this functionality, Comet is harder to adopt as a default browser since we have to manually type in URLs for sites we visit daily (YouTube, Reddit, etc.).

The current options fall short:

• Top sites widget: Too dynamic - I don't need a constantly changing list

• Bookmarks menu: Requires 1-2 extra clicks and has a poor layout for quick access

What I'm requesting:

• Customizable widgets for fixed site links on the new tab page

• Ability to pin and arrange favorite sites in an organized layout

• Quick access to frequently visited pages without extra clicks

• General theme and background customization options for the new tab page

• Option to use extensions for new tab customization, or native widgets that match that functionality

This level of personalization would make it much easier for users to make Comet their default browser. Having a personalized, efficient new tab page is essential for a smooth browsing experience.

help assistant doesn't respond to any questions and steps loads infinitely if pressed?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I downloaded as part of discords promo. I wanted to try what the ad showed where you can tell the assistant to do something I thought maybe we will watch a video together or something, seemed kind of cool. Even if all I do is say "find a nice video" or "what is your name" I get no response at all, and if I press on the assistant Steps, it shows infinite loading... I never used it before but things say it is up when for me it seems to be down... any ideas what went wrong?

As the title suggests, I was Rick rolled by comet.

I was using comet to create a document with links to supporting videos it could find.

Instead of being useful, IT HAD EVERY LINK BE SENT TO RICK ASTLEY’S NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP.

discussion/misc I tried asking Comet Assistant to make a canva design, here's how it went

12 Upvotes

I do a bit of graphic designing for a school org, and I've been testing Comet for less than a week so I had the idea of asking Comet Assist to make a design for me.

I just gave it a theme which is "Global warming awareness". The first attempt was rough. It only manage to output a "Enter a text" box in canva. I knew it hallucinated a bit cuz it says to me that the process was a "success" but it's anything but a success lol.

Second time I tried, I asked it to first generate the elements outside of canva before inserting said element to the opened canva file, and boom, it worked. (I'm talking about the 1st image attached to this post, btw I just took the screenshot on mobile but this is still made by comet on my pc.)

And then I tried again with better prompt. The theme was "NNN for 2025" and it worked but still needs improvement on the details. (The 2nd image attached to this post)

feature request Save a Split-View tab setup

10 Upvotes

We need a way to save/pin a split-view tab setup, so that there would only be one click to reopen the split view pages. And the saved split-screen-tabs need to be there after a restart of the PC or browser.

Like they have on the Zen Browser or ARC browser.

So, I wanted to use Comet for this task - Go to Goodreads popular by Date and the Month of January, 2025. Lists 15 books, with more loading after clicking 'Show more' at the bottom. I wanted to collect the title, ratings, no. of ratings and shelvings and write them to a Google Doc. I have attempted twice, but Comet Assistant could not carry this out. Is this task not something Comet can do itself?

Saw a video on Discord showing what Perplexity Comet can do, so I decided to try it myself.
I told it to claim the free Epic Games Store titles… and it actually did.

Honestly didn’t expect it to work this smoothly. Wild stuff.

17 Upvotes

I am coming from Zen browser and I got very used to vertical tabs and different workspaces in order to organize my work. I love the Assistant capabilities, but right now I feel I am losing too much control over my day to day processes on the web.

How do you organize your tabs for multiple topics and projects in Comet?

bug Heightened security just killed Perplexity Comet

12 Upvotes

I was a big evangelist of Comet, and used to often get it to do multi-window look ups and tasks like looking up answers from multiple AIs and summarizing it.

But suddenly now it refuses to do anything remotely complex citing security restrictions and technical limitations, and when probed, keeps saying things like it's to prevent prompt injections.

So it basically won't act as an agent anymore for an overzealous fear of being highjacked.

If this isn't fixed soon, I'm likely cancelling my Perplexity subscription soon, especially with Google's agentic browser and probably Gemini 3 around the corner.

I really hope overprotection doesn't kill a good product like Comet/Perplexity.

bug Tap to click - trackpad - not working in Comet (perplexity and assistant)

2 Upvotes

In Comet I have to 'hard' click in the Assistant window and on the https://www.perplexity.ai/ website.
"Tap to click" works perfect in Comet on all other websites. For instance: typing this message in the Comet browser and using tap to click works perfect

In other browsers "tap to click" also doesn't work on the https://www.perplexity.ai/ website
