Comet Browser vs Firefox

You get a glimpse of what an AI-native, purpose-driven browser can feel like with Comet, especially if you're the kind of power user who wants an assistant that clicks around the web for you and pulls in email or calendar context. The interface is built to showcase these agentic features in a way that feels more user-friendly than most early AI browsers.

But the experience is rough around the edges. You run into moments where the assistant can't actually take action on the page you're on, even though the demos suggest it should. The workflow sometimes breaks down when you expect the assistant to handle something and it just can't, so you're still jumping in to finish the job yourself.

If you're an early adopter who likes trying new things and doesn't mind dealing with unfinished features, you'll appreciate what's here. For anyone expecting a polished, efficient user experience that just works, you're going to feel the inconsistency and friction.

Firefox sets itself apart with a privacy-focused approach, but you immediately run into friction from its limited extension support and lower compatibility with websites. You lose access to the huge ecosystem of Chrome extensions, unless developers specifically rebuild them for Firefox, which rarely happens. That means you're stuck with fewer options, and there's a real chance that some sites simply won't work right.

If you pick Firefox as your main browser, you'll probably find yourself reaching for a second browser just to get full features or to use sites that don't play nice. The interface doesn't get in your way, but the constant need to switch browsers or deal with missing tools breaks any sense of a truly efficient or seamless workflow. You can get by, but it never feels smooth or fully reliable for heavy or demanding use.
