Perplexity offers to buy Googles Chrome browser for $34.5 billion
Summary
Perplexity AI has offered $34.5 billion to buy Google's Chrome browser. The bid comes as Google faces pressure from a U.S. antitrust case that could force a divestiture of Chrome. Perplexity says investors are willing to back the deal, even though the offer exceeds its current valuation. The company recently launched its own browser, Comet, and continues to position itself in the competitive AI search market. The move could reshape browser distribution and search access if regulators or Google entertain a sale.
