Perplexity offers $34.5 billion for Google Chrome: what is known about the deal

According to glavcom.ua: The startup Perplexity has suggested that Alphabet acquire the popular web browser Google Chrome for $34.5 billion. This unexpected proposal was made in the event that a U.S. federal court forces Google to sell its browser due to antitrust cases. The information was reported citing the Financial Times.

Representatives of Perplexity believe that their company could become a worthy operator of Chrome in the event of a sale decision. However, Alphabet, Google's parent company, is currently not taking this proposal seriously and has refused to comment.

The current situation reflects the tension in the online search sphere and the potential changes in ownership of the popular web browser due to antitrust regulatory attempts. Google intends to appeal the court's decision if it is made in an unfavorable manner for the company.
