Amerikaans Ministerie van Justitie eist dat Google Chrome-browser verkoopt

By Ninian Carter

November 21, 2024 - In an effort to end Google’s monopoly of online searches, the U.S. Department of Justice is demanding it sell “Chrome” – the world’s most popular web browser.

In an effort to end Google’s monopoly of online searches, the U.S. Department of Justice has proposed a series of remedies, including that it sell “Chrome” – the world’s most popular web browser – and be banned from making deals with companies like Apple and Samsung to set Google as the default browser on their smartphones and browsers.

The proposals come following a landmark anti-competition ruling in August, in which District Judge Amit Mehta found Google illegally crushes its competition in online search.

Google's search engine accounts for almost 90% of all online global searches, with its Chrome browser used by 67% of people on all devices.

Google is expected to counter with its own proposed remedies by December 20, 2024, with Judge Mehta expected to issue a decision by summer 2025.
