Perplexity has introduced a new "Control browser" mode in Comet, allowing users to ask the browser assistant to navigate the web on their behalf. The feature is available immediately for Pro and Max subscribers. At the same time, Perplexity has updated Comet’s default browser agent model to Opus 4.6 for Max subscribers.

• Availability: The feature is live now for Pro and Max subscribers.
