Comet is an AI-powered Chromium-based web browser designed and developed by Perplexity and is available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Just like Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera, this Comet browser will also repeatedly prompt you to set Comet as the default browser on your PC or laptop.

If you have multiple browsers installed on your computer and you want to use a different browser as the default instead of Comet, this pop-up prompt from Comet might be annoying for you. But don’t worry! In this article, I have shared how you can permanently remove the ‘Set Comet as default’ request prompt.
