DOJ Pushes for Google to Divest Chrome in Antitrust Case

TL;DR Summary
The US Department of Justice has proposed that Google sell its Chrome browser and stop making its search engine the default on devices to curb its search monopoly. This follows a court ruling that found Google illegally suppressed competition. The DOJ's remedies aim to restore competition in the search market, but Google argues these measures are excessive and could harm its products. The case, initiated during Trump's first term, may continue under his new administration, with a decision expected by summer 2025.
