The DOJ's push for Google to sell Chrome, following a ruling that deemed the company a monopoly, has opened the door for OpenAI as a prospective buyer. OpenAI's head of product, Nick Turley, testified in the antitrust trial expressing the company's interest in acquiring Chrome to develop an 'AI-first' browsing experience. Turley also noted OpenAI's previous attempts to partner with Google to enhance ChatGPT's functionality, although these discussions were rejected. Chrome dominates the browser market with a 66% share, prompting interest from multiple potential buyers, including OpenAI.

OpenAI sought a partnership with Google to improve ChatGPT but was rebuffed; they believe multiple search data partners would enhance quality.
Chrome has dominated the browser market since 2012, boasting a 66% global share and 4 billion users, significantly ahead of competitors like Safari.
