Perplexity's $34.5B Google Chrome Bid Shows Search Complexity

Alphabet (GOOGL) shares moved higher after Perplexity offered to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion.

It also builds on what Brad calls the "complex ecosystem" of tech, noting Alphabet itself and Apple (AAPL) also eyed bids for Perplexity.
