Perplexity's New Browser Comet Set for May Launch
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas has announced that their new browser, Comet, is set to launch in May. He addressed the importance of maintaining open-source projects, arguing against Google selling Chrome, as it plays a crucial role in the tech ecosystem. Srinivas expressed skepticism about OpenAI acquiring Chrome, citing their lack of commitment to open-source principles. He also hinted at the possibility of tracking user behavior to enhance advertising, although this idea is still hypothetical. Users will have the choice to opt-out of personalized ads, emphasizing privacy alongside functionality.
