☆ The DOJ vs. Google: Breaking down the latest in the antitrust case and what it means for Chrome's future

AdvertisementThe DOJ has asked the judge in its antitrust case against Google to force the tech giant to sell Chrome, its massively popular browser. In August, a judge ruled Google violated antitrust laws and acted as a monopoly when it came to its search engine. Google will have a chance to respond next month with its own plan before the judge makes a ruling next year. That makes it a powerful distribution arm for Google since Chrome's default search engine is … Google. And Apple was making at least $20 billion a year by defaulting to Google Search .

CNN —Tempers flared between two of the NBA’s biggest stars on Sunday as 2024 NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown called Giannis Antetokounmpo “a child” after the Milwaukee Bucks forward jokingly offered him a fake handshake during the Boston Celtics’ comeback win.
