The bid comes amid speculation that Google will have to divest Chrome after a court found that Google had an illegal monopoly on online search. The offer was sent to Google's parent Alphabet on 12 August 2025. This is a Jonah-Whale scenario as the bid is higher than Perplexity's own valuation of around $18bn and would be financed by outside investors. Perplexity said in the event of bid acceptance they would keep most of Chrome's existing team. Perplexity's backers include Jeff Bezos, Nvidia and SoftBank.
