In a 23-page document (PDF) filed late Wednesday, US regulators asked a federal judge to break up Google after a court found the company maintains an abusive monopoly over its dominant search engine. 
As costs, the Justice Department is seeking the sale of Google's Chrome browser and restrictions to prevent Android from favoring Google's search engine. The Associated Press he says:
While regulators are not requiring Google to sell Android either, they argued that the judge should make it clear that the company should also be forced to give up its smartphone operating system if the watchdog continues to find evidence of inappropriate behavior.
Court hearings in Washington, DC on Google's costs will begin in April, and Judge Mehta plans to issue his final decision before September 1, 2025. If U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta] upholds the government's recommendations, the Google will be forced to sell the Chrome browser within six months of the final decision. Of course the company will appeal any conviction, extending the legal battle that has lasted more than four years.
In addition to Chrome and Android, the Justice Department wants the judge to bar Google from entering into multibillion-dollar deals to keep its search engine as the default option on the iPhone and other Apple devices. It would also prohibit Google from favoring its own services, such as YouTube or its recently launched artificial intelligence platform Gemini.
Regulators also want Google to license the search index data it collects from people's queries to its competitors, giving them a better chance to compete.
On the commercial side of its search engine, Google should provide greater transparency in how it sets the prices advertisers pay to appear near the top of certain targeted search results.
The measures, if ordered, threaten to upend a business that this year is expected to bring in more than $300 billion in revenue.
