Perplexity's Comet AI Browser Now Free Worldwide Amid Security Concerns

Perplexity AI made its Comet AI-powered web browser available worldwide for free on Thursday, expanding access beyond its $200-per-month Max subscribers from July.
This move follows Perplexity's initial paid launch, a growing waitlist of millions, and competitive pressure from browsers like Google Chrome, which rolled out Gemini in September.
Comet acts as a personal assistant that summarizes webpages, organizes tabs, helps shopping, and performs tasks such as sending emails and booking flights through AI agents.
Perplexity announced Comet Plus, a $5 monthly subscription launching with partners including CNN, Condé Nast, and The Washington Post, providing frictionless access to premium, paywalled content, distributing 80% of revenue to publishers.
The free availability of Comet and the publisher revenue-sharing program aim to attract users and establish a new browsing paradigm amid legal challenges from some media outlets.
