As reported ReutersAnxiety AI has offered Google to Google for Chrome .5 34.5 billion cash offers, despite the fact that it is not really for sale yet. The three -year -old company is less than half itself, but says unknown backers are ready to cover the cost.
CEO Irwind has a taste of Srinivas heading bid. Earlier this year, he offered to merge the ticket’s American arm to help address Washington’s concerns about Chinese ownership.
The pitch of anxiety includes keeping Chrome’s basic code open source, investing 3 billion in two years, and it includes to go to the default search engine. Startup argues that this will protect the consumer’s choice and prevent the headache of distrust in the future.
This is a bold target. Chrome has more than three billion users and is central to Google’s AI search push, which makes it unlikely that the company will allow it to go until its legal paths are completely removed. Analysts believe that fighting can be dragged for years, even if a court eventually orders sale.
Nevertheless, the fact is that the hassle – and allegedly open, Yahoo, and Apollo Global Management – Chrome are circling, it shows how valuable the browser has become AI race.
