US Justice Department Seeks Court Order to Force Google to Sell Chrome
The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly seeking a court order to compel Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, to sell its web browser Chrome, which dominates approximately two-thirds of the global browser market. This move is part of the government’s broader efforts to address perceived monopolistic practices in Big Tech. Alphabet has described the Department’s agenda as ‘radical’ and indicative of larger issues beyond legalities. This development follows a recent ruling that found Google had illegally maintained its monopoly by making its search engine the default on various devices.
