The US Justice Department has proposed an antitrust measure requiring Google to sell its Chrome web browser, claiming that Google has abused its monopoly in the search market. The Justice Department said splitting Chrome would help competing search engines enter the market and weaken Google’s monopoly. It also called for additional measures, such as prohibiting Google from entering into search deals with Apple and Samsung and licensing data to competitors.
Google has criticized the move as excessive and said it will have a negative impact on consumers and the tech industry. Google claims the DOJ’s proposal goes beyond the scope of existing rulings and plans to release a response in December.
The court’s final decision is expected in the second half of 2025, and Google is likely to continue its legal battle through an appeal. The move is expected to serve as an important precedent for anti-monopoly issues and fair competition in the global technology industry.
