Introducing Privacy Snapshot
Comet is the world’s first browser built from the ground up to be an AI assistant. Knowing we were building one of the first AI browsers and powerful personal assistants, we designed Comet to have privacy and security at the core.
TL;DR
- Comet browser introduces a new Privacy Snapshot widget for easy access to privacy settings.
- Comet Assistant settings are now clearer, allowing users to block tasks on specific websites, turn the assistant on/off, and understand data usage.
- Comet blocks ads and trackers by default and offers standard browser protections like Safe Browsing and a password manager.
- A hybrid compute model keeps most data, including credentials, locally on the user's device.
- Data transferred to Perplexity servers for assistant tasks can be deleted by the user and personal queries are automatically deleted after 30 days.
- Users are reminded of general security best practices, such as keeping browsers updated and using strong passwords.
