Perplexity AI Launches Comet Browser

Perplexity AI Launches Comet Browser for Pro Users in India — Full Guide & Key Insights

Panstag Tech News | September 24, 2025

Perplexity AI, the rising star in AI-powered search, has officially launched its Comet Browser for Pro users in India — making India one of the first countries to get access to this revolutionary browsing experience.

Comet isn’t just a browser — it’s your personal AI assistant built directly into the web. For Indian users tired of juggling multiple tabs, searching for answers manually, and switching between tools, Comet promises a faster, smarter, and more private browsing experience.

What Makes Comet Browser Special?

Unlike Chrome or Edge, Comet is designed around AI-first workflows. Here’s what it brings to the table:

1. Built-in AI Sidebar

Comet features an AI sidebar that can instantly summarize articles, answer questions about what you’re reading, and even generate quick insights — without needing to copy-paste text into ChatGPT or other AI tools.

2. Smart Tab Management

No more getting lost in dozens of open tabs. You can simply ask Comet to organize, group, or close tabs for you using natural language commands like:

"Close all shopping tabs except Amazon"

3. Task Automation

Comet can schedule meetings, send emails, and set reminders — directly from the browser. This makes it more like an AI-powered operating system for the internet.

4. Chromium Compatibility

Since Comet is built on Chromium, it supports Chrome extensions, bookmarks, and familiar keyboard shortcuts. This makes switching from Chrome painless for Indian users.

5. Data Privacy

Perplexity claims Comet is privacy-first — browsing data stays on your device, and sensitive data is encrypted locally. This is a big plus for privacy-conscious users in India.

Availability & How to Get It in India

Perplexity has made Comet available exclusively to Pro subscribers for now. Here’s how you can get it:

• Windows & macOS: Download directly from Perplexity’s official website after logging in as a Pro user.

• Android: Pre-registration is now open on Google Play Store. You’ll get notified when the app launches.

• iOS: The iPhone version is coming soon — Indian users can sign up for early access notifications.

Security & Recent Vulnerability Fix

In August 2025, security researchers from Brave discovered a prompt injection vulnerability in Comet’s “summarize this page” feature. This bug could have allowed malicious sites to trick the AI into leaking private information.

Perplexity says it has patched the issue and added extra safeguards. However, experts still recommend being cautious with sensitive browsing (like banking or work emails) until more independent security reviews confirm full safety.

Why This Launch Is Big for Indian Users

India is one of the largest internet user bases in the world. Launching Comet here first means:

• Early access for Indian professionals and tech enthusiasts.

• Opportunity to test and shape the future of AI-powered browsing.

• Possible shift away from traditional search engines like Google towards ad-free, direct answers.

For creators, students, and knowledge workers in India, Comet could save hours of research and tab-switching every week.
