How can perplexity.com persist on the browser without extension

I talked about this before on https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=47142325<p>Facts: restarted archlinux yesterday after updates, so browser will start clean did not open perplexity.com since that restart on the morning chromium tried to open perplexity.com again after more or less 8 hours, another call to that site I don&#x27;t have any extension other than ublock origin on Chromium: Version 147.0.7727.116 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) Arch Linux (64-bit)<p>So why is chromium trying to open perplexity.com?<p>I have opensnitch installed and every connection prompts to allow or deny, that is why I can find this requests. I did use perplexity a few days ago, but sure it was before update, so pc was restarted.<p>This was made from &#x2F;usr&#x2F;lib&#x2F;chromium&#x2F;chromium.<p>Even &#x2F;usr&#x2F;lib&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;browser&#x2F;omni.ja is full of perplexity.ai crap, and some other sites, but that is shocking. I found perplexity mentions on Firefox, Librewolf and Thunderbird libs. But none for Chromium.<p>I know there is a aur&#x2F;perplexity 1.5.1-2 client but I don&#x27;t have it installed, as I don&#x27;t have any account with them.<p>This is worst than a virus. I don&#x27;t even know where to start to find evidence? Chromium code?

Interesting to see that the entrepreneurs from more recent years tend to be doing well relative to years prior.<p>Some interesting future directions could be:<p>- Expanding search to be global and include more competitions, like biology and chemistry<p>- Improving search so less unknown results<p>- Showing insights, like trends over the years<p>Kudos to Perplexity Computer for making this
