BTCCSquare news:
Indian AI startup Perplexity has made an audacious $34.5 billion all-cash offer to acquire Google Chrome, the world's leading browser. The proposal comes amid regulatory scrutiny of Alphabet's dominance in web search, following a U.S. court ruling that found Google guilty of illegal monopolization.
Perplexity claims backing from major venture-capital funds to finance the deal. Chief Business Officer Dmitry Shevelenko stated the company WOULD retain Chrome's operations unchanged for at least two years. Market observers question whether the offer represents a genuine acquisition attempt or a strategic publicity move by the rising AI challenger.
