Chrome isn’t for sale, but Perplexity just offered $34.5 billion anyway

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-01 17:55:10

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Perplexity AI has made a $34.5 billion cash offer for Google’s Chrome browser. Google isn’t selling Chrome and is appealing a court ruling that could one day force its sale. Perplexity says it has funding lined up and would keep Chrome open source with no search engine changes. Google might be forced to sell its Chrome browser in the future, thanks to a US court ruling that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. But while the case is st

Linus Torvalds blasts kernel dev for 'making the world worse' with 'garbage' patches

Perplexity, the AI startup responsible for the eponymous chatbot and LLM-powered search engine, has made a formal bid to purchase Google's Chrome browser.

Tens of thousands of YouTubers are raging against YouTube's plan to use AI to detect underage users in the US. On Tuesday, a Change.org petition rapidly neared its 50,000-signature goal, with tens of thousands hoping that with enough users protesting, the wide rollout of the AI age checks might be stopped.

In the wake of its big antitrust loss, Google could soon find itself forced to sell one of its crown jewels. Among the government's proposed remedies in the search case is a requirement that Google divest its market-leading Chrome browser, and Perplexity is already throwing its proverbial hat into the ring with a whopping $34.5 billion offer.
