Google may have to sell its internet browser Google Chrome. In fact, the US Department of Justice i.e. DOJ may put pressure on Google to sell its Chrome internet browser. A decision in this matter can be given by the court.

According to media reports, Google Search has been accused of unfairly capturing the market. US Government wants to reduce the monopoly of Google Chrome. This step can be taken for this.

What is the matter?

In a decision in August, a US court held Google guilty of violating anti-trust rules. The court had said in its decision that Google misused its monopoly in the search and advertising market. This proves that the company has worked to maintain its monopoly.
