$35B on the Table: Google’s Chrome Sparks Bidding War as AI Browser Arms Race Heats Up
$35B on the Table: Google’s Chrome Sparks Bidding War as AI Browser Arms Race Heats Up

Big Tech's browser battleground just got a nuclear option. An unnamed buyer—likely a trillion-dollar tech titan or sovereign wealth fund—just slapped a $35 billion offer for Chrome on Google's desk. That's more than Twitter, GitHub, and Figma's acquisitions combined.
Why? AI's eating the internet.
Every major player needs an AI-native browser to dominate the post-search era. Chrome's user base? Over 3 billion devices. Its data moat? Impenetrable. The bidder isn't buying a browser—they're buying the rails for the next-gen web.
Meanwhile, Wall Street analysts are calling it 'a desperate hedge against obsolescence.' Because nothing says innovation like writing a check for someone else's decade-old codebase.
