馃毃 Warnings over Perplexity鈥檚 Comet Browser 馃毃

AI browsers are the new hype but it doesn't mean they are safe to use 馃憠馃徏

Security researchers from LayerX Security have revealed that the AI browser is vulnerable to CometJacking attacks, allowing hackers to hijack sessions and access user data.

For more info on why you're better off not using Comet: https://tuta.com/blog/perplexity-comet-browser-security-privacy-risks

@Tutanota privacy is becoming a lot harder, the big tech companies are pushing and over hyping their products becoming not only a privacy and safety issue but also a surveillance tool.

@Tutanota I read through your blog post and I couldn't agree more, Comet is a danger to privacy.

When I got to the end and clicked on the link for your secure browser list, I received a page error. Is it something on my end or does the link have a typo?

@Tutanota also, where do you stand on Floorp and Vivaldi?

I have to assume that Floorp is near the top, along with Zen, Firefox, and Librewolf, but if you know something I don't I'd like to make sure I'm safe.
