Two major artificial intelligence (AI) companies are reportedly launching web browsers to rival Google Search’s dominance. Perplexity AI announced Wednesday that it launched Comet, an independent search engine for Mac and Windows that bypasses traditional browsers like Google Chrome or Apple’s Safari.

San Francisco-based Perplexity on Wednesday made its new artificial intelligence-powered Comet web browser available to its highest-paying Perplexity Max subscribers and some others.

Comet extends Chromium with a set of Perplexity-powered AI features. The company’s namesake search engine is set as the default option for users. Additionally, a sidebar provides access to an AI assistant that can automate a wide range of browser actions.
