Worth knowing
Perplexity documents that since a user requested the fetch, this fetcher generally ignores robots.txt. No Web Bot Auth directory is published. Perplexity's Comet browser is a local Chromium fork, so its traffic comes from the user's own address and the published IP list does not describe it.
