Ditching Chrome for Good: Why Comet Is the AI Browser Designers, Creators, and Everyday Users Will Love
Last updated: 8 October 2025
If you’ve ever tried editing your Squarespace website in Chrome and watched your laptop fan take off like a jet, you’ll understand the frustration. Chrome is powerful, yes, but it’s also hungry. It eats memory, drains energy, and turns simple updates into a slow motion slog.
I design and maintain Squarespace websites for a living, so I notice anything that brings the temperature down and the focus back. Comet is an AI browser from Perplexity that is built to be fast, tidy, and genuinely helpful while you work. Comet moved from a limited release to a full public launch in October 2025, and it is now free for everyone to download. Read the official announcement from Perplexity here.
Squarespace and Perplexity have also announced a partnership around Comet, positioning Squarespace as the website building and hosting partner for the new browser. Read the official Squarespace press release. This means you’ll see native Squarespace integration options directly within Comet in the coming months - starting with one-click analytics, simplified SEO checks, and streamlined asset uploads right from the browser. For anyone who builds, edits, and launches sites, this is welcome news because it ties a calm editing experience to a platform that already handles brand, content, and commerce.

How Comet Performed in Real Website Design Work
I updated a five page client site using Comet only. I refined an About layout, reorganised a services section and tidied the mobile CSS. Everything ran cleanly and the fan stayed quiet. No drama, just progress.
Comet Browser: How AI Is Quietly Revolutionising Browsing in 2025
Comet marks a small but significant shift in how we design and browse online. It shows what happens when AI is used with intention, not to replace creativity but to support it. The browser brings speed, clarity, and intelligence to everyday tasks, helping us stay present in the creative process rather than fighting the tools that should make it easier.
AI is not replacing designers or thinkers. It is quietly redefining how we work, learn, and move online. Comet is one of the first browsers to make that change feel natural, and for many of us, it feels like the start of a new chapter.
