DOJ urges Google to divest its Chrome browser

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has eased its stance on Google's AI and Android issues but still wants the company to sell its Chrome browser. This move aims to address concerns over Google's search market dominance. The DOJ, supported by 38 state attorneys general, argues that Google's control of Chrome, which holds over 66% of global browser sessions, threatens market competition. Google has expressed concerns that these proposals could negatively impact the economy and national security. While the DOJ has relaxed its demands regarding Google's AI investments, the company must now inform the government about future AI funding. Discussions about Google's Android ownership have also quieted down.
