Google may have to sell its internet browser Google Chrome. In fact, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) may put pressure on Google to sell its internet browser Google Chrome. The court may give its verdict in this matter. According to media reports, Google Search has been accused of unfairly capturing the market. The US government wants to reduce the monopoly of Google Chrome. That is why this step can be taken.
This is The Case
In a decision in August, a US court held Google guilty of violating anti-trust rules. The court said in its decision that Google took unfair advantage of its monopoly in the search and advertising market. This proves that the company has worked to maintain its monopoly.
Chrome is The Most Popular Browser
At present, apart from the Android mobile operating system, Google has services like Google Chrome browser and AI Gemini. The company uses its Google search algorithm to show targeted advertisements to users. 65% of the total internet searches worldwide are done through Google Chrome browser.
After this, Apple Safari has 21% market share. The share of other browsers including Firefox is very less. The main reason for the increasing share of Google Chrome is the Android operating system. Most of the users in the world use smartphones with Android operating system, in which Google Chrome remains as the default browser.
