The U.S. Department of Justice is intensifying its antitrust case against Google, potentially requiring the company to divest its Chrome browser. This move is part of a broader strategy to challenge Google's alleged monopoly in digital advertising and search. The DoJ claims Google uses its dominance in these areas to unfairly boost Chrome, stifling competition and harming consumers by limiting choice. The court has been asked to approve the divestiture, which may also lead to scrutiny on Android, Google's widely-used mobile OS due to its interconnectedness with Chrome.
The Justice Department's latest legal action accuses Google of engaging in anticompetitive behavior by unfairly using its dominance in search and advertising to prop up its other services, most notably Chrome.
Google's illegal conduct has created an economic goliath, one that wreaks havoc over the marketplace to ensure that - no matter what occurs - Google always wins.
The DoJ secured a legal win last year against Google in its broader antitrust case concerning its search practices and anticompetitive deals with other companies to make its search engine the default on many devices.
If the government succeeds in compelling Google to sell Chrome, the company may also face additional scrutiny over Android, the world's most widely used mobile operating system.
