Oh yeah I'm definitely going to use that. He's a marketing genius.
I would like for the people, who come up with these ideas, to dogfood their own product. Actually force them to try their own medicine. It would be a single digit percentage of acceptance then

Can't sell reams and reams of customer data if you don't have any customers.

Haha..I can see this guy saying out loud to his friends..."and while everyone else is moving towards privacy I'll do the exact opposite, but to the extreme. Don't look at me like that Kyle, I've already sold my soul. We're gonna be so rich."
Hey, look for that browser to fail instantly as no one will use it.

In mean it's what Google is doing for years now. Not saying it's good by any means but it's nothing new anymore.
When you quit talking to potential customers and go right for the unhinged investors.
Is Chrome not doing exactly this?
Chrome is relatively limited in scope compared to, say, a user on an instance of degoogled chromium just using the same Google services along with all the other browsing they do. The extra data that's gathered is generally going to be things like a little more DNS query information, (assuming your device isn't already set to default to Google's DNS server) links you visit that don't already have Google's trackers on them (very few) and some general information like when you're turning on your computer and Chrome is opening up.
The real difference is in how Chrome doesn't protect you like other browsers do, and it thus makes more of the collection that Google's services do indirectly, possible.
Perplexity is still being pretty vague here, but if I had to guess, it would essentially just be taking all the stuff that Google would usually get from tracking pixels and ad cookies, and baking that directly in to the browser instead of it relying on individual sites using it.
