Perplexity makes bold $34.5B bid for Google's Chrome browser

Then Google Ads will appear in some way in Perplexity (https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/why-we-re-experimenting-w...) and Perplexity will use Google Search, and everybody is happy, except the regulators.

I think it's fun that they always get in the media like this. They know how to play the game.

Who is ready to have their browsing patterns mined by a different company?

So $34.5B for a logo and a Chromium build/CI pipeline?

I'm not sure what would be worse
