Speculations about Google selling its Chrome browser to Microsoft have some ground in antitrust challenges by U.S. regulators. According to reports, the Department of Justice pressured Google to divest Chrome citing this has reinforced its dominance in search and online advertising. Microsoft, which wants to expand Bing and AI tools, seems to be a logical buyer looking to bolster its presence in browsers and use Chrome’s user base. It would likely increase competition, spur innovation, and reshape the tech landscape, though it is subject to regulatory and operational hurdles. The anticipated deal reflects a shift in strategy in the tech industry under regulatory scrutiny.
