AI startup Perplexity has offered $34.5 billion to acquire Google's Chrome browser. The unsolicited bid exceeds Perplexity's current valuation, with investors reportedly ready to back the deal. Perplexity is known for its AI search engine and recently launched its own browser, Comet. This offer follows a DOJ antitrust suit proposing Google divest Chrome, arguing it creates an unfair search market advantage. Chrome is a key data source for Google's advertising business.
