Is Perplexity's $34B offer to buy Chrome real or a marketing stunt?

  Chrome should be out of Google a long time ago, but they are allowed to keept it, so they must be paying loads of tons to somebody.

  But Perplexity is a better service than most of the free AI. Search the web for related content and try to provide a consise response.

  Can't compare it to paid Perplexity or ChatGPT because I don't have those services. But for a free service, it's very good.

  Perplexity talked about having it's own browser long time ago.
