DOJ Reignites Antitrust Fight Against Google, Challenges Court's Refusal To Force Chrome Sale

The U.S. Department of Justice filed an appeal on Tuesday in response to a ruling that did not mandate Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) subsidiary Google to sell off its Chrome browser or terminate its profitable agreement with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) as the default search engine on new devices.

In a post on X on late Tuesday, the DOJ Antitrust Division announced, "Today, the DOJ Antitrust Division filed notice that it will cross-appeal from the remedies decisions in its case against Google's unlawful monopolization of internet search and search advertising."
