Initially, access to the browser was limited to users subscribed to the most expensive tier, with broader availability expected over time. [4] The browser was later released for free download in October 2025. [5] A key feature of the browser is the integration of the Perplexity search engine, [6] which enables users to perform a variety of tasks such as generating article summaries, describing an image, conducting research about a topic and composing emails. [7]
Some of its key features are:
- a built-in AI agent able to answer questions about open web pages, summarize content, and perform other tasks;
- unified search: Perplexity's AI search engine integrated as the default search engine for accurate, verified information;
- browser commands allowing users to manage tabs and perform actions using natural language;
- contextual awareness: access to browsing history and open pages to retrieve relevant information and learn user habits;
- compatibility with most websites; easy import of bookmarks and extensions from other browsers like Google Chrome. [8]
