PANews reported on April 22 that according to the New York Times, the U.S. Department of Justice said at an antitrust hearing in Washington that in order to break Google's monopoly in the field of online search, it should be forced to divest core assets such as the Chrome browser. Prosecutors said Chrome is a key entry point for users to search engines, and the divestiture will help competitors obtain market data and improve services. The case is expected to last three weeks, and the final "remedy" will be decided this summer.
