Overview
In response to a ruling on Google's monopolistic practices, the U.S. Department of Justice is pushing for the forced sale of the Chrome browser to restore competition in online search. This proposal follows a judge's decision that found Google maintains illegal market dominance. The DOJ seeks to prevent exclusive distribution agreements and restrict Google's ability to favor its products. Google has denounced the measures as overreaching and harmful to consumers. Court hearings on potential remedies are scheduled for April 2025, with a decision expected by August 2025.
