The US Department of Justice Demands Google to Sell Chrome
World
Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, accounting for 61% of the US market. The US antitrust authority has refrained from imposing harsher penalties, which could have included demanding Google to sell its Android mobile operating system.
The US Department of Justice plans to ask the court to require Google (owned by Alphabet) to sell its Chrome browser as a penalty for maintaining an illegal monopoly in the online search market, Bloomberg reported, citing its sources.
Prosecutors intend to present their proposal to US District Judge Amit Mehta in Washington, D.C., on November 20. Antitrust regulators want Google to divest Chrome. Bloomberg noted that Chrome is the world’s most popular browser, controlling 61% of the US market.
Sources say the US government decided against imposing stricter penalties, such as requiring Google to sell its Android mobile operating system.
