DOJ still wants Google to part with its Chrome browser as part of antitrust case – USA TODAY
Google will have to part with its dominant Chrome browser if the U.S. Department of Justice has its way.
The divestiture of Google Chrome is among remedies sought by the Justice Department’s antitrust division in a proposal filed Friday, signed by acting assistant attorney general Omeed Assefi, all part of a suit initiated in 2020.
The Justice Department has argued Google used the Chrome browser to establish a monopoly in online search and advertising. The tech giant also paid third parties to use Chrome as its default search engine, argued the Justice Department and more than 45 states, which brought the suit along with the agency.
“Google’s conduct presents genuine danger to freedom in the marketplace and to robust competition in our economy,” the plaintiffs said in the Friday filing.
This filing and a one filed by Google, also on Friday, precede an expected hearing next month with a ruling by U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta to come in August, Bloomberg has reported.
