US DOJ Pushes to Break Up Google’s Monopoly by Requiring Sale of Chrome




The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to ask a judge to force Google to sell its Chrome browser as part of an effort to dismantle the tech giant’s monopoly over internet search. The DOJ is considering “structural remedies” to prevent Google from using its dominant products to unfairly control the market. 


This intervention follows a court ruling that found Google had violated antitrust laws. Google has vowed to challenge these proposals, arguing they would harm consumers and innovation. Meanwhile, in the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority has dropped its investigation into Google’s AI partnership with Anthropic.
