ALL 6 AGENTIC BROWSERS
The Post-Search Era: The End of the Blue Link
Perplexity Comet is the spearhead of the 'Post-Search' era, a fundamental shift from ad-driven link lists to source-driven answers
Why: Perplexity Comet represents the death of the traditional search engine. We picked it because it's the first agentic browser to prove that autonomous web navigation and source-backed reasoning are more valuable than a list of 'blue links.'

The Native Agentic Layer: The Browser as an OS
Google Chrome has evolved from a simple browser into a native agentic layer powered by Gemini 3

HOW TO CHOOSE
What actually decides between agentic browsers:
- Reliability on real sites: Demos run on clean pages. Judge these on a site with a cookie banner, a login wall and a multi-step form, because that is what the web is.
- Prompt injection defences: A browsing agent reads the whole page, and a page can contain instructions aimed at the agent. This is the central unsolved security problem of the category — ask what the vendor does about it before trusting it with a logged-in session.
- Session and credential handling: The agent operates as you, inside your logged-in sessions. Understand what it can reach and whether you can scope it to specific sites.
- Where it pauses: Purchases, submissions and anything irreversible should stop for confirmation. Check that this is the default rather than a setting.
- Observability: You should be able to watch what it did and undo it. An agent that reports success without a trace is not auditable.
