    I just want to mention that anyone using Comet should be very careful about what data they give it access to. I have heard that there are potential exploits to agentic browsing that could be fashioned to go to a 3rd part website, input your credit card information, and make a purchase all without user intervention. I think not giving it access to login information for any websites that have your financial data would be reasonable.

    I'm usually not much for AI FUD, but this one in particular seem legitimate and troubling.

    Personally, I tried it and… Meh. It’s not that special when compared to other browsers that have AI as well. You’ll struggle to find use cases that Firefox, Brave, Edge or Arc can’t do as well

    Edit: forgot that Arc stopped development. Forget that one

      did you try to install any manifest v2 extensions like uBlock Origin? Shame they made a Chromium based browser.

          I'm kind of thankful for the whole mv2 debacle, since it pushed me a little further away from the google-verse. Neat idea, but it isnt for me either.
