Perplexity Offers $34.5 Billion for Google Chrome
Perplexity, an AI startup, has made an unsolicited bid to acquire Google's Chrome browser for $34.5 billion. This offer comes amid the Trump administration's push for Google to sell the Chrome browser, following a federal judge's ruling that the tech giant has an illegal monopoly in internet search. However, Google has stated that it is not selling the Chrome browser. The news was reported by Bloomberg's Seth Fiegerman on "Bloomberg Technology." The proposed acquisition by Perplexity and the government's efforts to break up Google's dominance in the search market highlight the ongoing scrutiny and regulatory pressures faced by tech giants in the industry.
