🆕 How to Change the New Tab Page in Comet Browser

⚠️ Important limitation: Custom URLs cannot be set as new tab page

Current Limitation (as of 2026): Comet does not allow setting a custom URL (like google.com) as the new tab page. Every new tab opens the AI assistant by design—this is intentional for the AI-first experience.

What you can do instead:

  • Use the bookmarks bar for one-click access to favorite sites.
  • Type URLs manually in the address bar—auto-complete learns your frequent sites.
  • Pin your most-used sites to the tab bar for instant access.
  • Try browser extensions if Comet supports extensions in your version (check chrome.webstore).

🏠 How to Change the Homepage in Comet Browser

Quick answer: Settings → On startup → Open a specific page → Enter URL

Step 1: Click menu → Settings.

Step 2: Go to On startup section.

Step 3: Select “Open a specific page or set of pages”.

Step 4: Click “Add a new page” and enter your desired URL (e.g., https://google.com or https://therightgpt.com).

Step 5: Click Add. Changes save automatically.

🔄 How to Sync Bookmarks and Settings Across Devices

Quick answer: Sign into same Perplexity account on all devices → Enable sync in Settings

Step 1: Ensure you’re signed into your Perplexity account (click profile icon in top-right).

Step 2: Go to Settings → Sync or Account.

Step 3: Toggle on sync for bookmarks, history, open tabs, passwords, and settings.

Step 4: Install Comet on another device (Windows, Mac, Android) and sign in with the same account.

Step 5: Wait 1-2 minutes for initial sync to complete. All your data will appear automatically.

🎯 Works for desktop-to-desktop and desktop-to-mobile sync.

🔐 Comet Browser Password Manager Settings

Quick answer: Settings → Passwords → Manage saved logins

Access passwords: Menu → Settings → Passwords (under “Privacy and Security”).

What you can do here:

  • View saved passwords: Click the eye icon next to any entry.
  • Edit or delete: Click the ⋮ menu next to any password.
  • Export passwords: Look for “Export passwords” (creates CSV file).
  • Import passwords: Use the Chrome import method and check the “Passwords” box.
  • Toggle autofill: Enable/disable “Auto Sign-in” and “Offer to save passwords”.
  • Sync passwords: Enable sync in Account settings to access passwords on all devices.

🚫 How to Manage Pop-ups and Redirects in Comet Browser

Quick answer: Settings → Privacy → Site Settings → Pop-ups → Add exceptions

Step-by-step to allow pop-ups for a specific site:

1. Click menu → Settings.

2. Go to Privacy and Security → Site Settings.

3. Scroll to Additional permissions → Pop-ups and redirects.

4. Default is “Don’t allow sites to send pop-ups or use redirects” (recommended).

5. To create an exception: Click Add next to “Allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects”.

6. Enter the site URL (e.g., https://banking-site.com) and click Add.

Comet’s built-in ad blocker blocks most pop-ups automatically. Use exceptions only for trusted sites where pop-ups are necessary (online banking, payment portals, some login flows).
