DOJ brings down the hammer on Google, tells it to sell Chrome and rein-in Android

Google plans to appeal, arguing that the proposal could harm consumers and the tech industry.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially called for Google to sell its Chrome browser and make significant changes to Android to address concerns over its dominance in online search. In a new court filing made Wednesday, the DOJ has argued that Google should not only be forced to divest Chrome but also share search results and data with rivals and adopt several other measures to level the playing field. These recommendations are even more severe than the ones previously suggested by the department.
