Google Chrome Faces Potential $20B Sale Amid Antitrust Pressure
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly recommending that Google be ordered to sell its Chrome browser, valued at $15-20 billion, as part of measures to curb its monopoly power. This follows a ruling that Google holds an illegal monopoly over online search. The DOJ's proposal includes other remedies like requiring Google to license search data to competitors and disconnect Android from other services. Google plans to appeal, arguing the measures would harm consumers and technological leadership. Judge Amit Mehta will decide on the remedies by next summer.
