In response to the U.S. Department of Justice's demand for Google to split its Chrome browser business, Google has announced it will appeal, emphasizing that this demand is too aggressive and could harm consumer rights.

Google argues that the initial court ruling was incorrect and looks forward to changes from the appeal. Previously, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that Google had created a monopoly through its search engine. The DOJ stated that for many users, the browser is their primary means of accessing the internet, and Chrome is currently the most widely used browser globally. Demanding that Google split and sell its Chrome operations aims to interrupt Google's expansion of its search services and allow more third-party search services to enter Chrome.

Google warns that the DOJ's proposed solution could lead to privacy issues, potentially allowing the government to access more user data, which could impact consumer rights. Therefore, Google plans to allow more search engine services to operate within Chrome or become the default search engine on Android devices, while also establishing a new oversight board to ensure compliance.

During the testimony, the head of OpenAI's ChatGPT service stated that if Google were to sell its Chrome browser business, OpenAI would be interested in acquiring it. The CFO of Mozilla, meanwhile, indicated that if Google were forced to adjust due to monopoly accusations, the Firefox browser business could be at risk of closure.
