The Justice Department wants Google to sell Chrome as part of its antitrust case against the tech giant

The article discusses the potential impact of the US Justice Department’s antitrust case against Google. According to sources familiar with the matter, the Justice Department is considering demanding that Google sell its Chrome web browser as part of a potential settlement or remedy in the case. The case alleges that Google has abused its dominance in online search and advertising to stifle competition. By forcing Google to divest Chrome, the government aims to create more competition in the web browser market. However, the sources note that the discussions are still ongoing, and no final decisions have been made. The article also mentions that the Justice Department’s case against Google is expected to go to trial in late 2023 or early 2024, and any potential remedies or settlements would likely not take effect until after the trial concludes.
