Finished, finished. Google Chrome’s monopoly is now over. You must know that Google Chrome is a very popular browser. Whenever people talk about top browsers, they add Google Chrome to it. you know it has a huge market share; many people use it, but perhaps this won’t last much longer.
Earlier there was news that an AI company named Perplexity might buy Google Chrome, but the court ruled there that Google does not need to sell the Chrome browser. Okay, that thing is clear, but competition has emerged side by side here. Now the biggest news in technology is that Perplexity’s Comet AI-based web browser has been launched worldwide, and be carefully, it is free for everyone.
This starts the bell ringing about what will happen to Chrome, because AI came much later to Chrome and I didn’t find it that useful.
I did a complete analysis. So, for this purpose, I downloaded and installed the Comet browser and checked what it could do.
I visited a web page and told it, can you extract the summary of this?” Basically, I opened Google’s news website, and the updates there are very confusing, and they are scattered here and there, and difficult to understand.
So, what I did was ask it to simplify it, and the Comet browser did exactly what I expected of it. It made the update extremely simple, line by line, line by line. Meaning, the news that might have taken me 10-15 minutes to read on the website, I read all the updates in just 3 to 4 minutes. And that’s it, work finished, the task became easy.
when I told the Comet browser, create a PDF of the selected page,” you won’t believe it, an entire aura light appeared over the whole page. It was as if the AI had covered the entire page, and it was trying every possible way to create a PDF of it. It was working with JavaScript and other things, and whatever it was doing, it can even click links on web pages on your behalf.
Since this might be in the experimental stage or just starting out, you cannot trust it for banking, etc., because, that is a slightly high-risk matter. But overall, for the things you are doing, like finding something by surfing somewhere, or searching for something on a website… So how will AI help in that? Now, this will do it. Go to the Comet browser, go to that website, tell the assistant whatever you want to find and extract from that website, and it will retrieve it.
If you are shopping somewhere, and you shop using the Comet browser, tell it: remember this product I am looking at, and search the internet to find out where this can be found cheapest”. So, it will do the things for you that we have been manually doing in the browser and for which no automation has yet been created—the Comet browser can do that.
And friends, this starts its own separate market. You cannot even imagine what all can happen with this. Maybe performing SEO somewhere, or whatever happens on web pages if you create a website. And you know, I feel that since the advent of AI or social media, the development of websites and web features has lagged significantly behind. But after this comes, this thing will increase even more.
Now the interesting game begins, friends. Now we have to see what Google Chrome does, and what people do with the Comet browser now that it is free. I tried it myself, and found it very amazing.
So now, let’s see what happens. This is the biggest news, what all you would like to do with it. I will keep getting such small updates.
