DOJ Demands Google Sell Chrome to Break Monopoly

The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed that Google sell its Chrome browser as part of a strategy to break up the company’s alleged illegal monopoly in online search.

This recommendation follows a district court ruling in August that found Google guilty of monopolistic practices in the search business.

The DOJ argues that Google’s ownership of both Android and Chrome creates significant challenges in making the search market more competitive.

By suggesting the divestment of Chrome, the department aims to reduce Google’s market dominance and create a more level playing field for other tech companies.

This action is part of a broader antitrust effort to challenge Google’s substantial influence in digital search and browser technologies.

The proposal signals a serious approach by regulatory authorities to address concerns about tech giants’ market control.

The potential sale of Chrome could have significant implications for Google’s business model and the broader tech industry, marking a potentially transformative moment in tech regulation.
