The US Department of Justice is maintaining its push for Google to sell its Chrome web browser as part of an ongoing antitrust case.

A recent court filing reaffirmed the department's stance, arguing that Google's dominance in online search has created an unfair advantage.

While earlier proposals called for divesting all AI investments, the DOJ is now only requiring prior notification of future deals.

Legal action follows a ruling by Judge Amit P. Mehta, who found that Google illegally maintained its search monopoly. The United States DOJ also seeks to prohibit payments to distribution partners, a key practice that has helped Google secure its search dominance.

Google has criticised the proposals, claiming they would harm consumers and national security, and is preparing an appeal against the ruling.

Arguments from both sides will be heard in court this April. The case is expected to have far-reaching implications for competition in the tech industry, with potential changes to how Google operates its search and browser business.
