r/PerplexityComet

i am on paid plan but ran out of my control browser limits . Are there any other alternatives opensource or paid to comet that does the same thing control the browser and perform a task for me .

most i have seen are shit like browser os has 10k stars but failed to do simple stuff , chatgpt atlas just doesn't complete the task

any others you know that are same browser with at agent control stuff

I like Comet. It’s a solid product, and I switched from Chrome about four months ago. The cost is starting to add up, though, and I’m running into usage limits. I already pay for Claude and ChatGPT, which I rely on heavily as a software engineer. With Perplexity putting gpt-5.5 behind their max plan, this trend seems likely to continue.

I’m considering going back to Chrome, especially now that it offers browser automation, or possibly switching to an open-source alternative. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find a Chrome extension that works like Perplexity Comet’s assistant panel on the right side basically a chat sidebar that stays open while I can still read the current webpage.

What I want:

• A right-side panel or sidebar.
• The ability to chat while viewing the page.
• Ideally, the extension can understand or read the current page context.
• Bonus if it feels close to Perplexity Comet’s assistant experience.

I’ve looked around a bit, but I’m not sure which Chrome extensions actually do this well.

If you’ve used anything similar, please drop the name or a link.
Thanks a lot.

Last week I had a simple workflow that made Comet valuable. Extract data from a browser-based database, and insert the information into a google Sheet, with all data going into appropriate fields. Worked great. Today the agent browser won't do it. Anybody recommend an agentic browser that can still do this work? Step 1: ### PHASE 1: Extract ALL Records from XYXYXYXYXYXY browser Tab Click the pencil icon for each visible record in the grid and extract these fields:

1. Ship Date (from the "Ship Date" column in MM/DD/YYYY format)
2. Invoice Number (format: TA000XXXX)
3. Purchaser's Full Name
4. Complete Shipping Address (full address with city, state, ZIP)
5. Total Quantity of Bottles (# of line items)
6. Grand Total (the final price including tax and shipping)
7. Sales Tax (breakdown amount)
8. Shipping Cost (breakdown amount)
9. UPS Tracking Number Step 2: ### PHASE 2: Populate Google Sheets Tab Navigate to the "Testing XYXYXYXYXY Shippers Report, part two" tab and fill in ALL extracted records at once. One piece of data for each field based on the column mapping below. There should be one row for each record.

Column Mapping:

• Column A: Date Shipped (MM/DD/YYYY from Ship Date)
• Column B: Invoice # (from DATABASE NAME Invoice Number)
• Column C: Name (Purchaser's Full Name)
• Column D: Address, City, State & Zip (Complete Shipping Address)
• Column E: Type W/C (enter "W" for all records - Wine)
• Column F: # of Bottles (Total Quantity)
• Column G: Size in Liters (enter "750ml" for all records)
• Column H: Total Liters (calculate: # of Bottles × 0.75)
• Column I: Brand Name (OUR BRAND NAME)
• Column J: Total Price (Grand Total)
• Column K: Common Carrier # (UPS Tracking Number)
