The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has just called on Google sell your Chrome web browser and make major changes to Android or sell the platform. Now, Google has fought back against the lawsuit.

The search giant reacted to the DoJ’s filing by asserting that the department was pushing a “radical interventionist agenda” and asserting that it was an “extreme proposal” that would have various negative effects. He began by saying that selling Chrome and possibly Android would “endanger the security and privacy of millions of Americans” and “harm” product quality.

Google also said the order would require that innovations, results and “Americans’ personal search queries” be disclosed to foreign and domestic companies. Sticking to personal search queries, the Mountain View company claimed that the proposed actions would “deliberately hinder” users’ ability to access Google Search.

The big tech company also argued that the DoJ proposal would “chill” investments in AI. Additionally, Google claimed the proposal would force the government to “micromanage” Google search and other technologies through the formation of a technical committee.

Google also said that the Mozilla Firefox web browser would be one of the victims of these proposed actions. The search giant has long paid Mozilla hundreds of millions of dollars to make Google the default search engine, accounting for the majority of the alternative web browser’s revenue.

The Mountain View company also gave an example of what these remedies would mean for users:

As an example, the DOJ’s proposal would literally force us to install not one but two separate choice screens before you can access Google Search on a Pixel phone you purchased. And the design of these choice screens should be approved by the technical committee. And that’s just a small part. We wish we had invented that.

Of course, it’s worth noting that Google already offers premium displays in some markets like the European Union. And it seems like these users are doing just fine.

Either way, this saga is far from over. Google concluded by saying it would table its own proposals in December and present a “broader case” in 2025.
