Perplexity’s Comet browser naively processed pages with evil instructions

Asked to summarize the page, Comet ingested the text on the page, saw the instructions, and then exfiltrated a one-time password granting access to the user’s Perplexity account.

I can think of exactly zero reasons I’d need or want a browser with built-in AI. Bums me out that even Firefox is starting to go down this bumpy road. I’m not a doomer, I just don’t want AI everything all the time.
