DOJ Seeks Court Order for Google to Divest Chrome Amid Antitrust Ruling

The U.S. Department of Justice plans to ask a judge to force Google to sell its Chrome browser following a ruling that the company illegally monopolized the search market. This move is part of broader efforts by the Biden administration to address Big Tech monopolies. Google argues that the DOJ's actions exceed the legal issues at hand and could harm consumers. The company intends to appeal the decision, with a final ruling expected by August 2025. The DOJ is also considering other remedies, such as ending exclusive agreements with companies like Apple.
