The Justice Department has called on Google to expropriate its Chrome browser,  which is a call that’s coming after the ruling in August that the company holds a monopoly in the search market.

In 2008 Google launched its Chrome browser which has provided search engine donns with the data that has been for advertisements. The DOJ stated in a suit filed on Wednesday which will force the company to get rid of Chrome would create a more equal playing field for search competitors.

Chrome, which Google launched in 2008, provides the search giant with data it then uses for targeting ads. The DOJ said in a filing on Wednesday that forcing the company to get rid of Chrome would create a more equal playing field for search competitors.

It was stated that to remedy these harms, the Initial Proposed Final Judgment requires Google to divest Chrome, which will permanently stop Google’s control of this critical search access point and allow rival search engines the ability to access the browser that for many users is a gateway to the internet,” the 23-page filing reads.

Further, the DOJ stated that Google should be prevented from entering into any exclusionary agreement with Third parties such as Apple and Samsung. The DOJ also requested that Google should be prohibited from issuing its search engine several preferences within its other products.

Its suit also stated that the solutions to stop Google from eliminating the emerging competitive threats through acquisitions, minority investments, or partnerships. They stated that the solutions that have been identified will last for 10 years. The suit also stated that the search company should be required to provide a technical committee with a monthly report outlining any changes to its search text ads auction.

The filling also noted that the proposed solutions have been designed to help Google from its unlawful practices and open up the market for rivals and new entrants to emerge.

It was disclosed that search advertising accounted for $49.4 billion in revenue in parent company Alphabet’s third quarter, representing three-quarters of total ad sales in the period.

The DOJ request represents the agency’s most steadfast step to breakup break up a tech company since its antitrust case against Microsoft, which reached a settlement in 2001.

In addition to its call for Google to divest Chrome, the DOJ has indicated that it will be forcing the search company from divest its Android mobile operating system would also aid in restoring competition, “but Plaintiffs recognize that such divestiture may draw significant objections from Google or other market participants.

Rather, the DOJ suggested that the other remedies should be enough to blunt Google’s ability to use its control of the Android ecosystem to favour its general search services, and if they ultimately fail to achieve the high standards for meaningful relief in these critical markets, the Court could require a return to” the Android divestiture suggestion.

A federal Judge in August ruled that Google has held a monopoly in the search market. The judgment was delivered after the government 2020 filed its landmark case, alleging that Google controlled the general search market by creating strong barriers to entry and a feedback loop that sustained its dominance. The court found that Google violated Section 2 of the Sherman Act, which outlaws monopolies.

In October, the DOJ stated that they were putting into consideration to breakup of Google businesses, including potentially breaking up its Chrome, Play or Android divisions.

Further, the DOJ proposed limiting or prohibiting default agreements and other revenue-sharing deals related to search and search-related products. It was disclosed that it would include Google’s search deals with Apple on the iPhone and Samsung on its mobile devices, deals that cost the company billions of dollars a year in payouts.

Google has stated that it will appeal the monopoly ruling, which would draw out any final restorative decisions.

Nevertheless, the most likely outcome, according to some legal experts, is that the court will ask Google to do away with certain deluxe contracts, like its deal with Apple. While a division is a doubtful result, the specialists expressed that, the court may ask Google to make it more comfortable for users to access other search engines.
