U.S. Department of Justice Pushes Google to Sell Chrome Browser
The DOJ's antitrust case against Google intensifies, with proposed remedies targeting Chrome, search agreements, and Android restrictions.
- The U.S. Department of Justice has reiterated its demand that Google divest its Chrome browser to address antitrust concerns over its search monopoly.
- The DOJ's recent filing accuses Google of monopolistic practices and seeks to reduce its control over internet search by creating opportunities for competitors.
- Proposals include barring Google from exclusive search engine agreements with Apple and limiting its influence over Android's search and AI integrations.
- The DOJ has softened its stance on forcing Google to divest Android and its AI investments but warns of potential future actions if remedies prove insufficient.
- The case is set to continue in April, where a judge will determine the final remedies, with Google expected to appeal any adverse rulings.
