How much is Chrome worth for Google? Perplexity AI says its worth $34.5 billion. We think that’s perplexing. Maybe it was a product of its own AI engine’s hallucination.

AI company Perplexity has offered to buy Google’s Chrome browser for $34.5 billion, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal. The offer is being characterized as a “longshot,” especially since Perplexity itself is only valued at about $18 billion,

Many see Perplexity’s bid to buy Google’s Chrome browser as a strategic statement rather than a likely transaction.
