DOJ pushes for Google to sell Chrome browser

The U.S. Department of Justice is pushing for Google to sell its Chrome browser as part of an ongoing antitrust case. This proposal, filed on Friday, aims to address concerns about Google's monopoly in online search and advertising. The Justice Department argues that Google's agreements with companies like Apple and Samsung to make Chrome the default search engine have anti-competitive effects. A ruling from U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta is expected in August, following a hearing next month. Google contends it can comply with the court's decision without selling Chrome by altering its licensing agreements. The Justice Department has dropped a previous request for Google to divest its AI investments.
