Google May Be Asked to Sell Chrome Browser by DOJ

The Department of Justice will recommend to a federal judge that Google sell its Chrome browser business as part of its ongoing search monopoly case, Bloomberg reports..

This comes months after a judge ruled that Google, owned by Alphabet, violated antitrust law by illegally maintaining a monopoly in search. By ensuring its own search engine is the default choice on devices, Google is denying rival search engines the opportunity to compete, and therefore denying people the ability to experience alternatives, argued the DOJ.
