Perplexity wants Google Chrome (and who doesn’t)
Google’s web browser is a caramel for any company. Absolutely dominates the world navigation market share, it has a colossal influence by its chromium base and allows access to the searches market and that of the immense online advertising cake. In addition, the data of its hundreds of millions of users are A gold mine in the era of artificial intelligence. That is why giants like OpenAi have shown their interest if Google is forced to sell it.
Yes, it is more surprising than a firm (much smaller) as Perplexity has put it in the spotlight and now you have dared to launch a specific offer. But there is a problem: Perplexity does not have 34,500 million dollars to finance the operation. In fact, the WSJ estimates an assessment of only 18,000 million dollars. This means that Perpleplexity would have to look for another source of financing, and it seems that it has already done so. The commercial director, Dmitry Shevelenko, has declared that “Several large investment firms have agreed to finance the operation”.
