AI upstart Perplexity is making waves with a bold $34.5 billion bid for Google's Chrome browser, aiming to elbow into the search market currently dominated by the tech titan. The San Francisco-based company, valued at $18 billion, claims it has full investor backing for the offer, per the Wall Street Journal. Just months ago, it had been valued at $14 billion, reports MSNBC. Recent estimates of Chrome's value, meanwhile, have bounced between $20 billion and $50 billion.
