Perplexity AI now available as a search option in Firefox: Here's how to use it
As part of the Firefox 139 update, Mozilla has added an option that lets users switch to Perplexity AI to make searches directly from the address bar via the unified search button. While the non-profit organisation did not make a formal announcement, but has confirmed the news in a thread on its 'Connect' community forum.
Compared to traditional search engines like Google, which present a list of URLs you can click on, AI-powered search engines like Perplexity can summarise multiple search results in a visually appealing format. Also, these search engines are pretty accurate when it comes to identifying typos and grammatical mistakes.
Mozilla says Perplexity search offers direct and conversational answers, similar to Google's AI Overviews feature. While the test is currently limited to the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, users can also add Perplexity AI, users can easily add the AI-powered search assistant using a simple workaround.
If you are interested in using Perplexity as a search engine, open Firefox and head over to 'Perplexity.ai'. Now, type in your search query in the address bar, but instead of hitting enter, select 'Search with Perplexity' from the dropdown suggestions. When you make a few searches using this method, Firefox will automatically ask if you want to add Perplexity as a search engine. One added, you will also be able to use the @perplexity keyword shortcut to search more quickly.
According to Windows Report, Mozilla says that if the experiment is positively received by users, they may add more AI-based answers or search options to Firefox. If you are interested in trying out AI-powered search engines like Perplexity and ChatGPT in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, here's how to do it.

Google Pixel 10 launch data and time: How to watch Made by Google livestream in India
Google is all set to hold its highly anticipated 'Made by Google' event tomorrow (August 20), where it will draw the curtains back on its latest lineup of Pixel smartphones. This year, Google will reportedly unveil five variations, including the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 XL, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the much-awaited Pixel Pro Fold. The Pixel 10 launch event is being held in New York, United States. Those in India and elsewhere can watch the live-stream of the launch on August 20, via the tech giant's official YouTube channel as well as the official Made by Google event page. The livestream will kick off at 10:30 PM IST. Viewers can set a reminder via YouTube or follow updates in real-time across Google's official handles on various social media platforms. According to leaks, the Pixel 10 will feature a triple camera setup with telephoto lens, similar to previous Pixel Pro models. Additionally, Google is switching production of the Tensor G5 CPU from Samsung to TSMC, which is expected to result in better thermal conduction and processing power. Various tipsters have also hinted that the Pixel series will also feature wireless charging compatibility through the 'Pixelsnap' brand, which is expected to be compatible with major Android smartphones. According to hints from Tipster, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will be the first folding phone with an IP68 rating, providing total protection against dust particles. Another tipster from Android Headlines said that Google may have added a new AI tool dubbed 'Camera Coach' that could use Gemini to give you tips as you are shooting, including how to improve lighting or camera angles. The phone is said to be available in Google's regular black finish, 'Obsidian', along with three other colours: 'Indigo', 'Frost', and 'Limoncello'. The Pro models will likely come in 'Porcelain' white, 'Jade', and 'Moonstone', while the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL will be available in the same 'Obsidian' black. The Pixel Watch 4 and perhaps a new model of Pixel Buds might also likely make their debut at the launch event. If accurate, this would reinforce Google's efforts to create a more unified array of Pixel hardware.

Google Pixel 10 launch is finally here where we could also see other products announced at the event in New York. Google Pixel 10 series launch day, or shall we say evening, is finally here. The company's new Pixel 10 lineup will most likely have four models once again, including the new Pixel foldable version. The new iPhone 17 and Galaxy S26 challenger from Google will also be coming to the Indian market around the same time. There are a few concerns about the new Pixel 10 models, especially with the identical design to the previous Pixel 9 series devices, and even the hardware upgrades might be incremental. However, these are Google flagship devices and they will bring their own level of intrigue in the market. Here's a look at everything we know about the Pixel 10 series launch, their specs and expected price. Google Pixel 10 series will be unveiled at the latest Made by Google launch event in New York.

The new Pixel 10 Pro Fold model is expected to get a 6.4-inch cover OLED display and an 8-inch inner screen with up to 3000 nits of peak brightness. The camera setup on the Pixel 10 along with the Pros should get sensor upgrades for better day and low-light imaging to rival the upcoming iPhone 17 series models. The Pixel 10 India price details have been shared in a report by Smartprix which seems to suggest Google is not planning to make changes to its last year's launch price. The leak says the brand will launch the Pixel 10 with 256GB as the base model and price it starting from Rs 79,999. The Pixel 10 Pro is tipped to cost Rs 1,09,999 while the 10 Pro XL comes for Rs 1,24,999 as mentioned in the leak report. But what about the Pixel 10 Pro foldable variant?
