Google responds to the U.S. Department of Justice's "forced sale of Chrome" plan: "extreme" and contrary to the law.
On December 21, Glonghui reported that Google's parent company Alphabet (GOOG.US) stated that the USA Department of Justice's plan to force it to sell its Chrome browser is "extreme" and contrary to the law, urging federal court judges to act cautiously to avoid stifling innovation and future investment. Court documents show that Google responded to the Department of Justice's request and proposed its own remedies. Google suggested loosening the agreements regarding the default browser with Apple and Other companies. Google indicated that non-exclusivity can be established, and for Android phone manufacturers, it could link its Play Store with Chrome.
