#Perplexity AI Chrome

Reuters has reported that Perplexity AI made a $34.5 billion offer to acquire the Chrome browser from Google. Perplexity did not disclose detailed funding plans for the proposed Chrome acquisition. The offer comes amid regulatory pressure in the US for Google to divest Chrome. That said, the US Justice Department has pushed for a Chrome sell-off as part of the case remedies. Perplexity recently launched its own AI-powered browser called Comet, which can perform automated tasks for users. The company plans to invest $3 billion into Chrome over two years, and maintain Google as the default search engine. During the latest CES and Google's I/O Developer Conference, it was announced that new features would be coming to ChromeOS to have working across devices much easier. It was recently announced in their Official Blog that those features will now start rolling out to Chromebooks for users with Chrome OS 103.
