If you’ve been using Google Chrome for years, you know it’s reliable but it still leaves most of the work to you. Enter Comet, a browser that behaves more like a personal assistant than a passive tool. And the best part is that it is now free in India. It doesn’t just open web pages, it reads, summarises, organises, and even helps you act on information. From digesting long videos to planning trips and managing research, Comet can change the way you browse. Here’s what makes it stand out.
1. Compare Anything Instantly
In Chrome, comparing hotels, flights, or products usually involves opening multiple tabs, reading each review, and taking notes manually. Comet removes this friction. You can open 10 or more tabs and ask it, for example: “Which hotel near Hallgrímskirkja has the best cancellation policy and is walking distance?” Comet scans all the tabs, summarises the options, highlights pros and cons, and provides direct links to the best choices. Imagine planning a trip to Reykjavik: instead of hours of research, you instantly get a clear overview of which hotel is family-friendly, budget-conscious, or has flexible cancellation policies.
2. Digest Long Videos Quickly
Watching a 90-minute lecture or travel vlog in Chrome means either skipping around randomly or taking tedious notes. Comet changes that completely. You paste the video link, and it generates a timeline of key moments, extracts quotes, and summarises speaker insights. For example, a travel vlog on Iceland can be converted into a quick cheat sheet: Comet highlights scenic stops, hidden trails, hotel tips, and essential travel advice—all without you having to watch the full video. It’s like turning hours of content into minutes of usable knowledge.
3. Build Trips in Seconds
Planning a trip usually involves juggling dozens of tabs with blogs, maps, reviews, and itineraries. Comet can create a complete travel plan in a single prompt. You could say: “Plan a scenic Iceland road trip with short hikes, no crowds, and vegetarian-friendly stops,” and it will generate a day-by-day itinerary with routes, attractions, and dining suggestions. For example, Day 1 might include Reykjavik city highlights, Day 2 a secret waterfall hike, and Day 3 a local farm visit—all optimised to avoid tourist-heavy areas. Chrome offers no native way to combine all this information automatically.
4. Scrape and Summarise PDFs
Research-heavy websites with multiple linked PDFs are a nightmare to manage in Chrome. Normally, you would download each document, open it, and summarise manually. Comet automates this process. For instance, if a page contains ten whitepapers on market trends, you can instruct it: “Download all linked PDFs here and summarise each in three lines.” In minutes, you have concise insights from all the documents, making analysis faster and far less tedious. This is especially useful for students, researchers, or professionals handling large volumes of data.
5. Summarise Social Media Threads and Organise Tabs
Social media threads are often long and noisy, filled with replies, memes, and irrelevant content. Comet can summarise these threads, giving you only the essential points. Beyond that, it can organise your workflow intelligently: group tabs by topic, draft emails referencing multiple tabs, and even track weekly updates on topics of interest. For example, a long Twitter/X thread about marketing trends can be turned into a clean summary, ready to share or use in a presentation. Open tabs on research, travel, or work can be automatically sorted, and irrelevant tabs can be closed—saving mental bandwidth and keeping you focused.
