The U.S. government on Wednesday requested a federal judge order Google to sell its Chrome web browser and make significant changes to how search works on its Android mobile operating system, in a filing made months after the judge ruled that Google violated antitrust laws to maintain an illegal monopoly with its search engine.

Aside from the sale of Chrome and changes to Android, the DOJ also wants the court to prohibit Google from entering any deals with companies like Apple to make Google's search engine the default on their devices. The DOJ also wants to prevent Google's search engine from receiving any preferential access to platforms and services it owns, like YouTube and Gemini. Other proposals include requiring Google to syndicate its US search results and ranking signals with rivals for 10 years, and letting other companies access its search index at a marginal cost.

"Google's exclusionary conduct has ensured not only that rivals are denied distribution but also that rivals are unlawfully disadvantaged with respect to quality...The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired. The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages," the DOJ argued in its filings.
