Perplexity Comet – interested in your feedback

I like Perplexity and was excited to try Comet - but I'm failing to see the significant value Comet is providing apart from simply being a browser. Thoughts?

I’m not even bothering with “AI browsers”. If it’s worthwhile, it seems like it could just be an extension or something that will be built into existing browsers. I’m not in that much of a hurry, or buying into the idea that I need a whole new browser just for a little AI.
