Regulators also want Google to separate its Android operating system from other products such as Google Search and the Google Play Store.

The US Department of Justice is demanding that Google sell its Chrome browser as part of an antitrust lawsuit. Bloomberg reported this.

We remind you that in August of this year, the US court recognized the company as a monopolist. Since then, antitrust regulators have been deciding what steps to take to eliminate the company’s anticompetitive practices.

The ministry plans to go to court to force Google to sell Chrome, the world’s most popular web browser. Chrome’s integration with Google Search and other Google products has been cited as one of the factors limiting search competition.

Regulators also want Google to separate its Android operating system from other products such as Google Search and the Google Play Store that are usually installed on Android devices by default. It was originally planned that Google might be required to sell Android, but this requirement was later removed.

The US Department of Justice proposes to ask Google to license the data and allow free combination of search results with Google Search. This will give competitors and AI startups a chance to improve their algorithms and build search indexes. It could also force Google to share more data with advertisers, giving them more control over where they advertise.

Google can no longer enter into exclusivity deals like the deal with Apple that secured Google the default search engine status in Safari for $20 billion by 2022.

It was noted that Google is challenging the antitrust ruling, and the judge presiding over the case plans to hold a two-week hearing in April 2025 to discuss what changes the company plans to make. A final decision is expected in August 2025.

Recall that Google won a lawsuit against the EU fine of $1.7 billion.
