Your Google Chrome might soon be AI first, with natural search results taking a backseat.
Google has been in a precarious situation for quite a while, as the company might just be forced to sell off its super popular Chrome browser soon. To get ahead of the competition, Perplexity AI has made a whopping $34.5 billion offer for Chrome, in a move that makes it all too clear what the company’s next focus is.
Perplexity AI already has a browser of its own named Comet, but you may never have heard of it. That’s because, unfortunately for AI companies, most users still find modern Artificial Intelligence more of a nuisance that they’d rather avoid. Perplexity’s mouthwatering bid for Google Chrome is its attempt to propel itself in front of the eyes of the mainstream consumer base.
