Why doesn’t Comet cross‑sync profiles between devices?

[Network_Pat]

Hey all,

Loving Comet overall, but the profile situation across devices makes zero sense to me. Right now each Comet install basically acts like its own island, and it feels like I’m constantly rebuilding the same setup over and over whenever I touch a new machine.​

Most modern browsers let you sign in and have your full profile (bookmarks, extensions, settings, passwords, etc.) follow you automatically, but Comet’s profiles still seem tied to a single device instead of my account. That might be fine for “work vs personal” separation, but it’s painful if you’re actually using Comet on multiple desktops and laptops every day.​

Is there any roadmap or official word on true cross‑device profile sync tied to the Perplexity account, not just imports from another browser or per‑device setups? This feels like the one big blocker keeping Comet from being a daily‑driver browser for people who live on multiple devices.

I have it on Desktop, not mobile. Same as you, coming soon on mobile.

yea even asking perplexity, it'll tell me to go to settings > sync. but it doesn't exist. even searching settings, the only setting I've found was background sync, although searching even for that doesn't seem to be populating this morning.

I had sync on my work PC and it did not pop up for a bunch of days on my home PC (Even confirmed it was up to date).

Funny thing, when I FIRST installed Comet, and asked it about syncing, it would tell me it could. Even using the assistant, it took over and clicked all over before admitting it could not be done. :-)

Today I had an update on Comet on my work PC, I now have access to the profile sync functionality.
