U.S. Justice Department Pushes Google to Divest Chrome

The Biden administration seeks to dismantle Google's search monopoly by targeting its browser and mobile operating system.

  • Google, holding a 90% share of the global online search market, faces demands to sell its Chrome browser.
  • The Justice Department's move follows a federal ruling that Google illegally monopolized online search.
  • Proposals include separating Android from Google's other services and addressing AI-generated search results.
  • These actions aim to enhance competition in online search and the growing AI industry.
  • Google plans to appeal the decision, potentially delaying significant changes for years.
