In a recent antitrust case, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google had maintained an illegal monopoly in the search market. During the remedy phase of the trial, over 20 witnesses from major tech firms provided testimony that could affect Googleâs future. The DOJ suggested a key remedy could be forcing Google to divest its Chrome browser, which Google argues is crucial for maintaining privacy and security. Despite Google's stance, several competitors, including Yahoo and OpenAI, have expressed interest in acquiring Chrome, indicating a potential shift in the search landscape.
Google was found to have violated antitrust law, and now it's up to the judge to decide the consequences for its monopoly in search.
