Perplexity AI wants to pre-install Comet browser on your phone to challenge Google Chrome’s dominance

After launching its Comet browser for Windows and Mac, Perplexity is taking its competition with Google Chrome to the next level by introducing its AI-powered browser on Android. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas confirmed to Reuters that the AI startup is in talks with smartphone makers to pre-install its Comet browser on devices.

Currently, most smartphones ship with Google Chrome pre-installed, alongside an additional browser depending on the OEM, such as Samsung Internet on Samsung devices and the ‘Internet’ app on OnePlus devices.
