Google was declared a monopolist in a major antitrust case, prompting the U.S. government to explore remedies for dismantling its dominance in the search market. The Department of Justice seeks significant steps, including compelling Google to divest Chrome, its powerhouse browser, to enhance competition. Other proposed remedies include sharing user data with rivals and ending exclusive agreements. The outcome of this case, distinct from a recent ad tech antitrust decision, promises to significantly influence the future of internet usage for the public.
"The government argues Chrome gives Google an unfair edge by directing users to Google Search by default."
"No matter the outcome, this trial is likely to reshape how the internet works."
