Now, after positive feedback, we&#8217;re making it a fixture, rolling it out to more users for desktop. Perplexity provides conversational answers with citations, so you can validate information without digging through pages of results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This addition reflects our shared commitment to choice: You decide when to use an AI answer engine, or if you want to use it at all. Available globally, Perplexity can be found in the unified search button in the address bar. We\u2019ll be bringing Perplexity to mobile in the coming months. And as always, privacy matters \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perplexity.ai\/hub\/legal\/privacy-policy\">Perplexity<\/a> maintains strict prohibitions against selling or sharing personal data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Organize your life with profiles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">At the beginning of the year, we started <a href=\"https:\/\/connect.mozilla.org\/t5\/discussions\/try-out-firefox-profiles-in-nightly\/m-p\/84223\">testing<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mozilla.org\/en\/firefox\/profile-management\/\">profiles<\/a> \u2014 a way to create and switch between different browsing setups.
