The US Department of Justice has initiated Google Google Sell Chrome browser as part of the antitrust law. This step is part of a wider campaign aimed at reducing the monopolistic impact of the company in the technology market.
In August 2023, the US court recognized Google as a monopolist. The main claim was that the integration of the Chrome browser with Google Search and other products limits competition in the search. Since then, regulators have been developing a plan of action to eliminate anticompetitive practices.
