Google Proposes Remedies to Address Antitrust Concerns Over Chrome Browser Sale and Default Search Agreements
Dec 21, 2024, 08:51 AM
Google has proposed a series of remedies to address antitrust concerns raised by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding its online search dominance. Following a ruling that found the company had illegally monopolized the search market, Google aims to avoid drastic measures such as the forced sale of its Chrome browser. The tech giant's proposals include loosening its default search agreements with Apple and other partners, allowing browser companies to enter multiple default agreements across platforms, and making its Android agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) non-exclusive. Google characterized the DOJ's call for a Chrome sale as 'extreme' and contrary to law, urging caution from the federal court to prevent stifling innovation and future investment. The proposed changes are part of Google's broader strategy to counter the government's interventionist approach in the ongoing antitrust case.
