Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion - Lemmy.World

> The unsolicited offer is higher than Perplexity’s valuation.

Wouldn’t people just leave? I feel like that’s such an easy thing to do these days. If they are too old, they probably weren’t using Chrome anyway and default to edge since its just there. I know not everyone would, but I wonder what the percentage would be in the end. They have been killing it themselves lately with the removal of the blockers. I’ve been on Firefox for over a decade now. If Firefox did something like this, I would be gone in a day.
Never underestimate people’s stubbornness to stick with enshittified platforms.
completely anecdotally, but the numbers of users of ublock origin have gone up a bit since manifest v3 was released, and thus removed ad blockers.
