In an antitrust dispute, the US DOJ demands that Google immediately sell the Chrome browser to a bidder who has our approval.
In response to a historic antitrust case, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) has ordered Google to "promptly and fully" sell up its Chrome browser.
Google is required to sell Chrome, "along with any assets or services necessary to successfully complete the divestiture, to a buyer approved by the plaintiffs in their sole discretion, subject to terms that the court and plaintiffs approve," according to the revised plan, which was filed by DOJ on Friday, according to WIRED.
Google would have to cease compensating partners for preferential treatment of its search engine in order to comply with the department's requirements. Additionally, they require Google to notify any new joint venture, collaboration, or partnership with a business that competes with Google in search or search text ads in advance.
