The Department of Justice (DOJ) may move forward with plans to force the sale of Google’s Chrome web browser as part of its ongoing antitrust case against Alphabet (Google).<\/p>\n

According to sources familiar with the case, the department intends to ask the judge\u2014who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market\u2014to address concerns related to artificial intelligence (AI) and the Android smartphone operating system. This information was reported by Bloomberg<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Antitrust officials, along with participating state attorneys, are expected to recommend that federal Judge Amit Mehta impose data licensing requirements on Google. These officials have indicated that Chrome, the world’s most widely used browser, is a critical gateway for many users accessing Google Search. For this reason, they are urging the judge to mandate the sale of Chrome.<\/p>\n

Officials stated that a Chrome sale could be considered later if other settlement measures fail to foster a more competitive market. Currently, Google Chrome commands a dominant 61% share of the U.S. browser market, according to StatCounter<\/em>, a web traffic analysis service.<\/p>\n

Over the past three months, state attorneys interviewed numerous companies to prepare their recommendations. Officials noted that some recommendations are still under review, and details may evolve before submission.<\/p>\n

While a proposal to force Google to sell its Android platform was considered, officials have since stepped back from this more aggressive option.<\/p>\n

If Judge Mehta adopts these recommendations, the ruling could significantly reshape the online search market and influence the emerging artificial intelligence industry.<\/p>\n

The case, originally filed during the Trump administration and continued under President Joe Biden, represents one of the most aggressive efforts to regulate a major tech company in decades. The last comparable attempt was Washington’s unsuccessful bid to break up Microsoft in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Chrome plays a crucial role in Google\u2019s advertising business by providing user data that enhances ad targeting, a primary revenue source. Additionally, Google has been leveraging Chrome to promote Gemini, its new AI bot. Gemini has the potential to evolve from a simple answer bot to a comprehensive assistant, supporting users across the web.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Mandeep Singh estimates that Chrome could be worth $15\u201320 billion if sold, considering its more than 3 billion monthly active users. However, Bob O’Donnell of TECHnalysis Research<\/em> notes that Chrome’s value depends on its integration with other services, stating: “It\u2019s not directly monetizable. It acts as a gateway to other things. Monetization would depend on how buyers link Chrome to their services.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Google has strongly opposed the DOJ\u2019s recommendations. Lee-Anne Mulholland, Google’s vice president of regulatory affairs, criticized the move as government overreach, arguing: “This agenda goes far beyond the legal issues in this case and will harm consumers, developers, and American technological leadership at a critical time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt echoed this sentiment in an interview with CNBC<\/em>. He emphasized the value of Chrome in enhancing the Google ecosystem, stating: “Singling out these companies won\u2019t fundamentally solve the broader issues.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In a blog post, Google warned that under new ownership, Chrome might no longer remain free or receive the same level of investment, potentially leading to a shift in its business model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
