The newly intelligence company Perplexity has submitted the third bid for the acquisition of Browser Google Chrome for $ 34.5 billion, in a move aimed at questioning Google’s dominance in online searches.

Perplexity’s offer far exceeds its own valuation, estimated at $ 18 billion. According to her Wall Street Journal, several investors, including large business funds, have agreed to fully fund the transaction.

Estimates of Chrome value range between $ 20 and $ 50 billion. At the same time, US Judge Amitist Meta is considering obliging Google to sell Chrome as part of measures to limit its domination of internet search. Last year, Meta ruled that Google illegally monopolized the search market and is expected to decide within the month for measures that would restore competition.

Perplexity allegedly submitted her proposal to show the judge that there is a serious buyer concerned if a forced sale is imposed. In a letter to Google CEO, Sundar Pitsai said that the proposal was “designed to satisfy the antitrust requirement with the maximum public benefit, entrusting Chrome to a capable and independent manager”.

Google has not shown a willingness to sell Chrome. In a testimony this year, Pitsai stressed that such a move or the obligation to distribute data with competitors would harm the business, reduce the incentives for investing in new technologies and could create security risks. Chrome has about 3.5 billion users worldwide and covers over 60% of the browsers market.
