Top Justice Department antitrust officials have decided to ask a judge to force Alphabet Inc.’s Google to sell off its Chrome browser in what would be a historic crackdown on one of the world’s biggest tech companies.

While the writing has been on the wall for some months, we're now getting clearer information about the Google situation, with Bloomberg reporting that the DOJ will now "push Google to sell Chrome" in order to break up its search monopoly. While nothing concrete has been revealed yet, we could hear official words as early as Wednesday.

The recommendation from the DOJ to federal judge Amit Mehta, according to the report, would be one step that Google will take. The DOJ is also reportedly seeking changes related to the company's AI and Android businesses. The request would also include new data-licensing requirements for Google.
