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.
