The AI startup Perplexity has made a bold, all-cash offer to acquire Google Chrome for a massive $34.5 billion.
This audacious attempt is complicated by Chrome's unavailability and Perplexity's relatively smaller market value.
Their proposal emphasizes maintaining Chrome's open-source status, promising further investments and no search engine changes.
The success depends heavily on securing external funding and the resolution of Google's ongoing antitrust legal proceedings.
