Google is negotiating a funding round that could value AI startup Anthropic at $350 billion, nearly doubling its previous valuation. The deal might involve strategic investments, additional cloud services, or a convertible note. Google currently holds a 14% stake in Anthropic and recently secured a major deal for AI computing access.

Major web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are facing a funding crisis as the US Department of Justice moves to restrict Google's financial support, which currently accounts for over 80% of their development budgets. If successful, this could cripple the financial viability of all major browsers and disrupt access to the internet for millions of users.
