Perplexity AI, a startup from San Francisco, recently made news by offering $34.5 billion to buy Google Chrome, showing its big ambitions to compete with major tech companies.

Perplexity also plans to invest $3 billion in improving Chrome over the next two years. However, there are some concerns, because its AI-powered Comet browser has security risks, like phishing and malicious code. Still, this bold move shows how AI is quickly becoming part of the web, and it could influence how future tech deals and rules are shaped. Vocal
