The Justice Department says Google must divest the Chrome web browser to restore competition in the online search market, and it has left the door open for the company to be forced to divest itself of Android as well.

The filing includes a wide range of requirements that the DOJ hopes the court will impose on Google — from prohibiting the company from entering into certain types of agreements to breaking up the company more broadly. The DOJ’s latest proposal doubles down on efforts to take down Google’s Chrome browser, which the government considers a key access point for web search.

Although the government is not going so far as to demand that Google abandon its Android business, it is leaving the option open. The possibility of an Android split could hang over Google’s head to encourage it not to circumvent other solutions, but the government says a split could also be imposed if these other solutions prove ineffective for restore competition in the market. The DOJ says Google could even choose to divest if the company doesn’t want to comply with some of the government’s other proposed rules against Google Search self-preferring in Android.

Other remedies the government is seeking from the court include prohibiting Google from offering money or anything of value to third parties – including Apple and other phone makers – to make Google’s search engine the default search engine or to discourage them from hosting search competitors. It also wants to prohibit Google from favoring its search engine over any owned and operated platform (like YouTube or Gemini), forcing it to allow its competitors to access its search index at “marginal cost and on an ongoing basis” and require Google to syndicate its search results, ranking signals, and query data from the United States for 10 years. The DOJ is also asking Google to allow websites to opt out of its AI previews without being penalized in search results.

The DOJ will file a revised version of its proposals in early March, before the government and Google return to DC District Court in April for a two-week appeal trial. This is the second stage of the litigation, with Mehta now tasked with determining how best to restore competition to the markets.

The appeals trial will take place under the supervision of a new DOJ administration, which could impact the type of solutions it ultimately seeks. But the case was originally filed during the first Trump administration, suggesting that Google won’t be entirely off the hook.

Google and the DOJ are expected to make closing arguments in a separate antitrust case set for Monday in Alexandria, Virginia, regarding its ad tech business.
