Several tech companies, including OpenAI, Yahoo and Perplexity are keen on acquiring Google Chrome if regulators force its sale, reshaping competition across browsers and AI search.
During the Department of Justice (DOJ trial), testimonies confirmed that several companies are seriously eyeing Chrome’s massive user base and potential.
OpenAI sees Chrome as a natural extension to integrate its ChatGPT capabilities, strengthening its AI ecosystem further.
Perplexity aims to use Chrome to scale up its AI search tools quickly and tap into a wider user network.
Yahoo is internally prototyping a browser but is considering buying Chrome with Apollo Global Management’s financial support.
With about two-thirds of the global browser market, Chrome offers enormous influence for whoever controls it.
Chrome’s estimated price could hit $50 billion, making it a landmark acquisition in tech history as reported by Business Today.
A change in Chrome ownership could reshape competition in search, advertising and AI sectors globally.
