A couple of months ago, my Wi-Fi provider in France (Bouygues Telecom) launched an excellent offer for subscribers: one year of Perplexity Pro for free. I had been eying the service for a while, having heard nothing but good things from everyone who’s used Perplexity, but since I already had a Gemini Advanced perk with my Pixel 9 Pro, I couldn’t justify stacking more paid AI subscriptions for no reason. But free is free, so I jumped on the chance and redeemed my code.

Since then, Perplexity has surprised me with its focus on search and sourcing answers. I still juggle between it and Gemini (and my free ChatGPT account on occasion), but where Perplexity completely won me over is with its Chrome extension. It’s excellent, and everything I would’ve hoped to see from a Gemini Chrome integration many moons ago.
