Apple is looking at adding Perplexity and other AI search engines to Safari

Emma Roth writing for The Verge:

Cue added that searches in Safari fell for the first time last month, something that has “never happened in 22 years.” Under Google’s deal with Apple, the search giant pays Apple a chunk of ad revenue from searches on Safari. Fewer searches mean less revenue for Apple, something he has said he’s “lost a lot of sleep thinking about.”

I’ve pretty much shifted all of my internet searching to Perplexity, I’d love to see it as a search engine option in Safari.
