US v. Google: all the news from the search antitrust showdown
See all Stories
Back after a short break, Dahlquist is arguing for why Google should have to sell its web browser. “Browsers are the way users get into the internet,” he says, and a huge part of that is search. He recaps the basics about Chrome’s popularity, including that 35 percent of Google queries come through Chrome.
Mehta asks about conditions the DOJ might put on selling Chrome, including whether the new owner would be banned from keeping Google as a default. Dahlquist seems to say it wouldn’t be, since the goal is simply to create more opportunities for competition. Mehta follows up: who would own it? I can’t see the slide Dahlquist shows to answer that question, but we’ve discussed the answer here.
