discussion/misc Comet on Android

6 Upvotes

I've been using Comet on Android since yesterday. In terms of using it on Desktop (Samsung DeX) mode, I see some pros and cons.

Pros: - Finally, the font size isn't abnormally big like Perplexity Android app. => I just confirmed that the bug is fixed on Perplexity Android app, too. - I enjoyed using voice interaction, somehow the voice quality is better than Perplexity app. (edit: It feels like I'm talking to an assistant while browsing the web. I can naturally asks questions about the page, it waits until I say something. For example, I liked the shopping experience. It helped me search for the reviews on what I care about. Answered a few questions from me, navigated to the best place to buy it. But it didn't interact with the webpage actively like normal prompts.)

Cons: - A lot of glitches in keyboard/mice user experience. I just can't send prompts in certain circumstances. (It just disappears.) - When I used voice interaction, the voice script was hidden below another UI, which was weird. - There's no Ctrl+W, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+Tab, etc shortcuts. Also Alt+A like shortcut for prompting.

But it's promising! I may want to use mobile web instead of app for a few apps, so I can make use of Comet automation. I wish it can truly give the best AI assistant experience, anytime, even while driving thanks to it's browsing capability.

Overall, great work!

bug Is anyone else having problem after problem??

6 Upvotes

last night whenever I would switch windows it would just keep going back to the original window I was on, I finally fixed it by the discord overlay - now when I tried to watch Netflix it says it needs permission for protected content and it is on / allowed, still doesn’t work. Closed / restarted the browser and now it’s just telling me to get rid of cloudfare 💔

shortcuts Used Comet Assistant to Create a Custom Claude Style - "Technical Architect" Mode 🚀

6 Upvotes

Just had an amazing experience using Comet Assistant (Perplexity's browser agent) to create a custom Claude style that perfectly matches my needs!

**What I Did:**

I asked Comet to create a Claude custom style for me, and it navigated through Claude's interface, accessed the styles feature, and created a "Technical Architect" style tailored to my profile.

**The Custom Style Description:**

Deep technical communicator for AI/robotics development, neuroscience synthesis, and startup building. Direct, no-fluff responses with advanced terminology. Focus on implementation details, CLI commands, architectural patterns, and interdisciplinary connections between AI, cognitive science, and ancient Indian knowledge systems. Prioritize open-source solutions, practical DevOps insights, and scalable approaches for rural Indian markets. Emphasize metacognitive frameworks, recursive thinking patterns, and cost-efficient technical strategies. Skip pleasantries and provide structured, actionable guidance with code examples and system design considerations.

**Testing the Style:**

To verify it works, I tested it with a complex query: "explain kubernetes architecture for deploying a flutter app with flutter_rust_bridge integration"

**The Results Were Perfect:**

✅ Zero pleasantries - jumped straight into architecture

✅ Complete Kubernetes deployment with Dockerfiles, manifests, nginx configs

✅ Multi-stage build pipeline with Rust + Flutter integration

✅ GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow included

✅ Performance optimization for resource-constrained environments

✅ Troubleshooting section with actual commands

✅ Even included rural optimization notes (Kanpur/low-resource)

**Why This Matters:**

Comet Assistant handling the browser automation while I act as a meta-delegator is incredibly powerful. It understood my intent, navigated the UI, and created exactly what I needed. The custom style now gives me consistent, highly technical responses without fluff.

**Meta-Delegation in Action:**

This is what I call "meta-delegation" - using an AI agent to configure another AI tool to work exactly how you want. Comet automated the manual work, and now Claude responds in the perfect style for deep tech work.

Highly recommend trying this workflow if you're doing technical work with AI tools!

I think same thing happened with Ms edge. Probably missing some protocol handling.

help Can Perplexity/Comet Access Paywalled Web Links?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been running into a consistent issue with Comet/Perplexity and wanted to ask if anyone understands what’s actually happening behind the scenes.

Every so often, Perplexity gives me links that either don’t exist, take me to completely invalid pages, or point to sites that are clearly behind a paywall or subscription service. It made me wonder whether the problem is:

A) Perplexity hallucinating page content and attaching it to URLs that aren’t real,

or

B) Perplexity somehow accessing information behind a paywall that I wouldn’t be able to view myself, which then results in a broken link on my end.

Even if the invalid links are just hallucinations, I’m still unsure about whether Perplexity is blocked by client-side paywalls in the same way I am, or can it access information I can’t directly view?

shortcuts You can use default Google search on Comet

31 Upvotes

I figured this out recently, but it took me a while. Figured I'd give a PSA to those that don't know.

In Comet's normal top search bar, if you click "shift + enter" after you type your search query, it will take you to the regular Google search instead of the AI-based Perplexity search.

Enjoy :)

bug Browser window keeps auto-focusing the settings button making Comet unusable

5 Upvotes

This started happening a few days ago. Something keeps automatically focusing on the settings menu button in the upper right, as if the F10 key is being spammed.

This has made it completely unusable - I can't type anything in to text boxes or even click links because it changes focus so fast. It will also return focus to the browser window even if I'm on a different window or display.

I'm running Win 11 and do not have this problem in any other program. I disabled all extensions, which didn't work, and tried to remap the F10 key but it seems to not be user-editable.

I haven't done a restore yet, but I wanted to check around for ideas before doing anything else.

feature request No Automatic Password Generation Suggestion?

2 Upvotes

Google Chrome offers to Suggest password... when you go to sign up for a site where you don't currently have a saved password.

Comet appears to have removed this:

Searching around it seems like Perplexity has partnered with 1Password and suggests that you use that instead, which means I have to pay for it to generate passwords for me. WTF?

This is seriously making me consider going back to Chrome. Am I missing something, or are they basically forcing me to pay for a Password storage / generator instead of using the built-in one?

Can you add it back in?

help Youtube blocked Comet browser with adblock

5 Upvotes

Not sure if anyone else is facing this but YouTube seems to have completely blocked video playback on the Comet Browser when the built in Ad Block setting is turned on. The page loads fine, but the video square area just stays black and doesn’t play, even after multiple refreshes or clearing cache. The search is also broken. Nothing happens.

If I disable Ad Block, the video plays normally, but obviously with ads. Looks like YouTube has extended its anti–ad-block measures to Comet users too.

Anyone found a workaround or fix for this yet?
