DOJ Eyes Chrome and Android in Major Google Antitrust Push

On Aug 5, 2024, Judge Amit Mehta slapped Google with an antitrust ruling, citing its 89% general and 95% mobile search dominance. The DOJ is now nudging—or rather, demanding—that Google sell its Chrome browser or place Android under government oversight to break its stranglehold. Google’s calling the move extreme and gearing up to appeal. With exclusive OEM deals and billions at stake, this tech showdown could reshape the digital landscape.
