In a significant move addressing its search monopoly case, the U.S. Department of Justice has proposed that Google must divest itself of its Chrome browser. The proposal requires Google to sell Chrome to a buyer approved by both the Justice Department and state attorneys general. According to the proposed final judgment filed in the District of Columbia federal court, this measure is intended to ensure competitive fairness in the market. Furthermore, Google may also consider divesting Android, although it remains at Google’s discretion.
These steps are seen as part of broader regulatory efforts to curtail Google’s dominant position in the tech industry. For further insights and details on the proceedings, the information is available here.
