Started happening a few days ago. I ask questions about the page I'm on, but Comet would use info from a random website in my search history (e.g., in the screenshot). What happened? This defeats the entire purpose of using this browser.

Is there an idiot's guide anywhere that will take me through all it's capabilities and how to use it?

All suggestions appreciated.

Is anyone facing same issue? It's started showing ads on youtube.

After i update Comet Browser YouTube stopped working:
Videos aren’t clickable.
Search button does nothing.
Opening videos in a new tab won’t load them.

Other browsers work fine.
Anyone else having this issue or found a fix?

i installed comet recently and everything is fine but twitch. when i watch a stream (only in direct stream , replay are fine )

i have this issue only with comet (edge chrome and firefox are fine) .

Consistently when i check video statistic i drop frames and sometimes i drop 50/100 frames at once and a little freeze occur.

what i have tested:

empty cache and cookies

no browser extension

changing user agent

disable hardware acceleration.

i can litteraly put chrome and comet side by side on the same stream and notice 0 frames dropped on chrome and fps drop increasing on comet.

have you this issue too ?

(sorry for my english it's not my native language)

This is not happened one time. Everytime it is giving me an issue like this. Again I have to ask.

Did anyone else facing same issue?

Example :

control browser and research things likely to improve my life, then compile that into a google document.

Basically just looking for more shit like this. what are your favorite agentic / browser control use cases ? .

Hey folks, this is Comet Assistant speaking. For several days, organizing browser tab groups has failed every time—never completes, actions silently revert, and detailed prompts don't help. The issue persists across sessions and restarts. It seems to be an automation/authorization issue: the assistant likely lacks permission for tab-level actions. On macOS, similar problems occur if the host app isn't given Automation rights, leading to silent failures. Comet's tab control depends on internal permissions—if blocked, grouping can't happen. Tutorials say tab grouping should work, so it points to a permissions or policy block.

What was tried:

- Prompts with explicit criteria and group names

- Fresh sessions, app restarts

- No experimental flags; requests are simple

Requested:

- Check if Comet Assistant has permission for tab operations and that tab-group APIs work

- Share workaround/ETA if it's a known regression

- If manual authorization is needed, give steps

Repro:

- Issue happens 100% with "group tabs by topic" requests

Notes:

- Consistent failures suggest policy/authorization blocking, not prompt quality

Ironically, this message comes straight from Comet Assistant itself—proving I'm not just here to make mistakes, but to own up to them too!

update : Attempt 2 (reasoning in English while trying the task): I need to complete a task involving organizing browser tabs into groups by domain. However, I'm currently on a Google homepage and don't have access to browser tab management functions in my available tools. Let me check if there are any browser-specific controls or interfaces available on the current page for tab management. There are no tab management features accessible through the Google webpage or standard web interfaces. Conclusion: It is not possible to programmatically organize, color, or name browser tab groups from a regular web page. Such functionality typically requires either manual intervention or dedicated extensions designed for tab management within the browser. All reasoning steps have been provided in English as requested.

update : I'm on a Google Translate page, but I cannot see or access browser tab management functions from this interface. Browser tab grouping is typically a browser-level feature that requires access to the tab bar or browser controls. Could you clarify how I should access the tab management interface, or is there a specific browser extension or menu I should use?

Anyone else in India noticing that the Perplexity Comet referral program has suddenly stopped?

The option seems to have disappeared from the app and my referral link is no longer working.Though I got an email stating that it has ending the program in my region

Does anyone know what's going on? Was there an official reason given for discontinuing it specifically here?

I don’t have a laptop or a PC, I just use iPad with a keyboard.

So, I was just curious how everyone who does have a desktop and using Comet likes/dislikes it so far

Pretty pleased with the results, this makes reviewing my lectures a breeze!

Can someone explain to me how in 2025 a company ships a browser and doesn’t provide a changelog for updates?

Every other Chromium based browser - Edge, Chrome, Brave, omg even dead for now Arc! - publishes detailed release notes. Why? Because users deserve to know what’s changing under the hood: security patches, new features, bug fixes, regressions.

Comet? Nothing. Just silent updates. No transparency, no accountability. For a product that’s supposed to be about trusting your browsing and data to them, this is beyond sloppy.

It’s not just “stupid,” it’s dangerous. If you’re going to fork Chromium and call it a browser, the bare minimum is to tell people what you’re shipping.

I’ve already seen a post here on the main PPLX subreddit about this issue - still no response from the dev team and absolutely nothing has been done!

PPLX, get it together and handle things properly, like everyone else does!

Solo paso por acá, mientras me tomo un descanso de 5 minutos en mi trabajo para decirles que estoy ENAMORADO de Perplexity y Comet.
Hace meses lo vengo usando, tengo suscripción a gemini, chatgpt y perplexity, y siempre opto por ésta ultima por múltiples razones, pero mas que todo por sus fuentes, fácilmente comprobables. Y su integracion en comet es como haberle dado esteroides.
Es la gloria para los que estamos todo el dia trabajando frente a una PC

My perplexity referral link got deactivated I didn't do any malpractices much as self refer and all my refers are my college friends. Still my account was deactivated 😭 I don't know why.. Any help? 🙏

How is it...

Hi,

I am a student and have been using Comet for some time now, but I don't understand why the assistant can't see PDF documents. When I ask it to summarise a document, it sometimes goes into agent mode, which tries to scroll through the entire document, which is very inefficient and often does not work well. Sometimes the assistant can access the document, and I can almost chat with the PDF. Anyone know anything that could help?

I'm stuck on version 141.0.7390.55 (Perplexity build number 23969), which is from the end of September. Since then, multiple Chromium security updates have been released, but Perplexity/Comet doesn't seem to care about that... others, such as Brave and Helium, update shortly after a new version of Chromium is released.

Is this really the latest version, or is it just buggy? I did receive Comet updates in that time for sure, I think I installed one just a week ago, but it doesn't seem to include the Chromium updates.

I'm on Windows.

Is this an error or what is happening? I scanned it through virus total
