Browsers with AI helpers
Microsoft's Edge has a new feature called Copilot Mode. It's like having a smart assistant that can help you while you browse.
Perplexity, another company, also has a browser called Comet with AI features. But after trying both, Edge's Copilot Mode seems better.
Copilot Mode feels like a natural part of Edge
- It doesn't force AI on you.
- You can keep using your favorite search engine.
- But when you need help, Copilot is there.
Comet, on the other hand
- Makes you use Perplexity's search by default.
- This can be annoying if you just want a quick answer.
Cost comparison
- Copilot Mode is free to use in Edge.
- Comet, however, is only available to Perplexity's paid subscribers.
- It costs a lot of money just to try it out.
- For free users, Comet doesn't even let you choose which AI model to use.
- Edge's Copilot Mode, on the other hand, gives you access to the latest AI model, GPT-5, for free.
Tab management
Both browsers can help you manage your open tabs.
- But Copilot Mode feels more integrated and easier to use.
- It's clear that while Comet has some cool features, Copilot Mode offers a better overall experience.
- It's free, it's easy to use, and it doesn't force AI on you.
