Perplexity AI offers $34.5bn to acquire Google Chrome

AI-powered search engine Perplexity AI has made an unsolicited offer of $34.5bn to acquire Alphabet's Chrome browser. Perplexity's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, is known for aggressive acquisition strategies, as evidenced by the company's previous offer for TikTok US. Tech industry's giants such as OpenAI and Yahoo, alongside Apollo Global Management, are also showing interest in Chrome. Alphabet is yet to respond to the bid, and Chrome is not currently up for sale. The technology conglomerate plans to appeal a US court ruling that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. The Justice Department's case against Google includes a potential Chrome divestiture as a remedy, which could influence the outcome of Perplexity's offer. Despite not disclosing its funding plan, Perplexity has raised approximately $1bn from investors including Nvidia and SoftBank. The company claims that multiple funds are ready to finance the deal in full. Perplexity's proposal, which notably lacks an equity component, aims to maintain user choice and address future competition concerns. However; analysts are sceptical about Google's willingness to part with Chrome, considering its strategic importance to the company's AI initiatives, according to Reuters. The legal landscape also presents challenges, with a federal ruling on the Google search antitrust case expected soon. Perplexity, with its own AI browser Comet, aims to harness Chrome's more than three billion users to strengthen its position against larger competitors. The company has committed to keeping Chrome's underlying code, Chromium, open source and plans to invest $3bn over two years while maintaining Chrome's default search engine, as per a term sheet seen by Reuters. In July 2025, Perplexity AI obtained new funding, bringing its valuation to $18bn. The company secured $100m in fresh capital as an extension of a previous round. "Perplexity AI offers $34.5bn to acquire Google Chrome" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.

Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission holding public hearings about Pittsburgh Water rate increase proposals

Two public hearings are being held today where people can weigh in about proposed rate increases for Pittsburgh Water. Pittsburgh Water submitted a rate increase request with the state Public Utility Commission in early June, aiming to increase revenues by more than $84 million over two years. Under the proposed rate increases, if you currently pay around $100 per month, your bill would increase to over $123 in 2026 and over $135 in 2027. Customers with bill discounts would see around an 11% increase in 2026 and around a 10% increase in 2027. The increases would be about 23.5% and 16% for commercial customers. Pittsburgh Water says the rate increase requests are for water, wastewater, and stormwater system improvements and that they allow it to build on things it's already accomplishing. Pittsburgh Water has already removed 13,000 lead service lines and says it's on track to have all lead lines in its system replaced by 2027. The Public Utility Commission says it will review the rate increase proposal and make a final decision. For more information about how to register and join the public hearings, click here.

The mall food court is coming directly to your door, courtesy of drones

BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 2:18 The delivery app DoorDash and the Alphabet-owned drone company Wing are bringing mall food court favorites to select doorsteps as they expand their drone delivery program. The companies recently announced that they were partnering with GoTo Foods, the parent company behind shopping mall brands like Auntie Anne's, Jamba, and Schlotzsky's, to deliver orders by drone to select areas in Frisco, Fort Worth, and Plano, Texas. It's DoorDash's latest push into delivery by air after announcing in March it would launch a drone delivery pilot program with Wing for select Wendy's items in Christiansburg, Virginia, and also a sign that the company sees more room for growth. DoorDash said it began offering drone delivery for Papa Johns and The Brass Tap during limited hours of operation in parts of Little Elm and Frisco, Texas, in June, and now its partnership with GoTo Foods takes that pilot program further. 'As we continue scaling our drone operations, we remain focused on building a world-class logistics platform that enables partners like Wing to integrate seamlessly into our ecosystem; provides a smooth, reliable delivery experience for merchants; and offers consumers fast and affordable access to brands they love,' DoorDash's drone program head Harrison Shih said in a statement. For now, drone delivery is limited to just a 4-mile radius of participating locations, but for those who live in the radius, DoorDash promises delivery within minutes of ordering. The company has leaned into robotic delivery outside of drones with Coco, a delivery robot it began testing earlier this year in Los Angeles and Chicago. And in May, it bought the British delivery app Deliveroo for $3.9 billion. DoorDash reported more than $3 billion in quarterly revenue in the most recent quarter, up nearly 25% from the same time last year, according to PitchBook data. For GoTo Foods, the partnership with DoorDash is a chance to take its brand out of the shopping mall and to reinvent it for a new generation at a time when malls are changing. Thanks to drones, food court pretzels could be more easily accessible to 'high-growth suburban areas' that are 'well beyond traditional mall locations,' the two companies said in a press release. You used to go to the mall. The mall now comes to you. The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, September 5, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
