The US Department of Justice (DoJ) is considering requiring Google to sell its Chrome browser to dismantle the monopoly it has over the internet search market. If accepted by federal judge Amit Mehta, the move could drastically reshape the global online search market and Google's role in the fast-growing AI sector. This proposal is part of a larger antitrust case against Google that aims to restore competition to a market that it controls 90% of. Google has said it will challenge any case by the DoJ and that the proposals mark an 'overreach' by the government that would harm consumers. The case echoes the US government's attempt to break up Microsoft in the 1990s.
