The US government wants Google to sell its Chrome browser and restrict its Android operating system.

Google strongly disagrees with the proposal, calling it “extreme” and “harmful”.

The company plans to fight the proposal and file its own counter-proposals.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed breaking up parts of Google’s business to promote competition in the search engine market. However, Google has fiercely criticised the proposal, saying it will hurt consumers, businesses, and the country’s global tech leadership.
Google’s Chief Legal Officer, Kent Walker, has raised concerns about the proposal’s impact on privacy, security, innovation, and consumer convenience. The company plans to argue its case next year and file its own counter-proposals in the coming months.
