It seems that AI search company Perplexity has a pair of grit and gall, along with a multitude of head fractures, as it not only aims to usurp Google in online search, it offered to buy Chrome outright for $34.5 billion, which is $14.5 billion more than Perplexity is valued at .

Last week, Perplexity AI launched Comet, an AI web browser ready to take on the likes of Google Chrome and Safari. Currently, the new Chromium-based web browser is only available to a select few who were either lucky enough to be chosen from Comet’s waitlist or subscribers to the new $200 / AU$300 a month Perplexity Max.

Discover how Perplexity AI's audacious $34.5B bid for Google Chrome could reshape the browser market and the future of AI-driven innovation.
