DOJ insists Google must divest Chrome browser

techcrunch.com

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) is still urging Google to sell its Chrome web browser, a proposal first made last year. This stance remains unchanged despite the transition to the second Trump administration. However, the DOJ has modified its approach regarding Google's artificial intelligence investments. It will no longer require the divestment of these investments but will instead seek prior notification for future AI investments. Additionally, the DOJ has decided to leave the potential divestment of Android to the court's discretion, depending on market competitiveness. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for April.
