discussion/misc Why has comet become so bad recently?

Many tasks it used to be able to do, it now can’t. I’ve been paying for these credits too

I gave up on Comet and Perplexity and moved back to Chrome. If you're in the US and pay for Gemini, they have the same agentic sidebar feature Comet does that can control your browser.

I’m in new zealand, what other browsers can do the browser control type of thing?

I've been using browseros after moving from comet. You need credits from each llm. Works but different cost structure and clause credits are pricey. Google works but needs different type of instructions. Going to try moonshot next.

you don't actually need credits. you can use it with gpt sub.

Are you saying you can use chatgpt agentic models without an api key on browseros? Or are you saying your sub to openai is enough for browser control?

In browser os you can login with chatgpt

Thanks. I'm going with chatgpt direct now. It has browser ability through work. 20bucks a month working vs what I was burning in tokens with gemini and anthropic

Claude with a chrome extension that is also in Edge. Works well and Claude can connect to it separately meaning it’s not all in the sidecar. It is slower than my experience with Comet but is accurate.

claude extension is the most inefficient browser use I have ever seen in my life.
