$34.5 Billion for a Browser? When I read that Perplexity AI made a bid to buy Google Chrome, my first reaction was disbelief. How could a startup valued at $14B put $34.5B on the table for the world’s most-used browser? But then it hit me — this isn’t about Chrome as just a browser. It’s about owning 3B+ users’ entry point to the internet. In the AI search race, the browser is no longer just a tool; it’s the battlefield. Perplexity already has Comet, its own AI browser, but buying Chrome would give them instant dominance. And with Google under antitrust pressure, the timing is bold, maybe even brilliant. Here’s my takeaway → The future of search won’t be decided on Google’s homepage. It will be decided inside the browser itself, powered by AI. #AI #TechTrends #PerplexityAI #GoogleChrome
