The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken a significant step in its antitrust case against Google, proposing that the tech giant sell its Chrome web browser to break its search monopoly. In a filing with the DC District Court, the DOJ outlined a range of remedies aimed at restoring competition in the online search market.The proposal includes divesting Chrome, which the government views as a key access point for searching the web, as well as restricting Google from entering certain agreements and self-preferencing its search engine. The DOJ is also leaving the door open to requiring Google to spin out its Android business, a move that could have significant implications for the company's mobile dominance.The case, which was originally filed during the Trump administration, will continue to unfold in the coming months. A remedies trial is scheduled for April, and the outcome could have far-reaching consequences for the tech industry. The DOJ's proposals are seen as a major challenge to Google's business model, and the company's response will be closely watched by the tech and startup community.
