U.S. Plans to Propose Breakup of Google to Fix Search Monopoly
Briefly

The Justice Department and several states plan to force Google to sell its Chrome browser, significantly impacting the company and altering competition online.
Following a ruling that found Google maintained an illegal monopoly, the government aims to propose remedies including barring paid agreements with Apple for search engine placement.
Selling Chrome would be a severe consequence for Google, as the browser is integral to its ecosystem that sustains user engagement with its other products.
The upcoming proposals mark a pivotal moment in tech antitrust actions, reminiscent of the breakup attempt of Microsoft in 2000.
