No wind or storm, Perplexity is now making a bid for Google to take over the Google Chrome web browser. Perplexity is offering $34.5 billion for the purpose.
Google has not issued any comment on this matter. Several investors have stated that the value of Google Chrome is higher, and it is estimated to have around 3 billion users. With the development of the artificial intelligence arena, many see the web browser as one of the main doors for its use, and whoever holds access to the web browser is expected to dominate in the arena.
Many also consider Perplexity's move to be just marketing - not to mention that Perplexity is still far from having the ability to have the funds for this purpose. Perplexity's bid and offer are seen to come in line with the US court which is expected to issue a decision regarding Google's dominance in the advertising and search engine arena this month.
