📱 Will Google sell "Google Chrome"?

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is pressing Google in an antitrust lawsuit, demanding a judge order the immediate sale of the Chrome browser to a trusted rival.

The DOJ argues that Google has created an "economic Goliath" through illegal practices, dominating the online search market and disrupting competition.

Chrome, which is included by default on most Android devices, has been key to this global expansion, controlling approximately 66% of the browser market.

The DOJ had previously requested that Google stop paying companies like Apple to keep its search engine as the default, but now the focus is on selling Chrome as a final measure to reduce its monopoly.

Google claims that these actions could harm consumers, the US economy, and national security.

The final decision is expected to be made in September of this year.
