Brave found that comet is qutie vulnerable to prompt injection because of its AI reading web contents (and the hidden prompts within it), someone just needs to write a comment that you will pass while doomscrolling. Linked their blog & twitter thread.

I’ve seen this pattern repeat with new browser first it was with Arc and now its Comet.
I really hope no one is feeling foolish enough to hand over their digital presence to any browser promising “agentic browsing” and other such crap. I’ve seen this dangerously advertised even by some prominent devs on socials but it’s just begging for trouble. The web was and still is a very unsafe place and LLMs are just not equipped to combat deception.

I still don’t understand why Arc switched to Dia fulltime, Arc was really good. Thank god for Zen & Floorp
Because they needed the alphabets ‘a’ & ‘i’ in the name. Seriously though Arc browser was a security mess and there was enough bad publicity to dump it.
