American Startup Perplexity Makes Sensational Offer: $34.5 Billion for Google Chrome
The Big Battle for Internet Control
On August 13, 2025, the tech community was shocked by the news that Perplexity – a rapidly developing AI startup – officially offered $34.5 billion to purchase the internet browser Google Chrome. The offer comes at a time when the US Department of Justice is conducting an antitrust lawsuit against Google, demanding the company's breakup for more transparency and competition.
Reasons and Scale of the Offer
- Chrome holds over 60% of the global market and is a key point of control over internet access;
- Perplexity is already valued at $18 billion, has significant venture capital, and ambition to establish a new standard of openness and innovation;
- The offer is part of a response to accusations of personal data abuse and competition limitation by Google;
Promises of Openness and Innovation
Perplexity guarantees that the Chromium core will remain open source, and planned investments of $3 billion over two years will open the platform to independent developers and better user data protection. For Bulgarian IT specialists and users, this would mean more opportunities to participate in browser development and introduce local security and functionality solutions.
Potential Consequences for Bulgaria and the World
- A new standard for free access, transparency, and innovation – a chance for better personal data protection;
- Opportunity to include local and national cybersecurity algorithms and new services;
- Stimulating Bulgarian startups and developers to participate in browser and web service creation;
An IT analyst from Sofia commented: "If the browser changes ownership, positive changes can be expected – better security and new functionalities for the local market."
A Test for the Future of the Internet
Perplexity's move is more than a business deal – it is a test of honesty, access, and innovation in the global internet. Decisions by American regulators will define the technological landscape in the coming years, and Bulgarian users and developers are already watching the development closely.
