The Justice Department wants Google to sell off its Chrome web browser. It also wants the search giant to end practices that allowed it to maintain an illegal search monopoly. Google says the government’s proposals would harm consumers, economy and national security. Judge Amit P. Mehta is scheduled to hear arguments on the competing proposals in April, though Google has already indicated it will appeal whatever remedy is ordered, likely beginning a years-long legal process.\”No matter what occurs — Google always wins,\” the government says in Friday’s filing. \”The American people … are forced to accept the unbridled demands and shifting, ideological preferences of an economic leviathan,\” the DOJ says in a statement. \”Through its sheer size and unrestricted power, Google has robbed consumers and businesses of a fundamental promise owed to the public,\” it adds. \”Google’s illegal conduct has created an economic goliath, one that wreaks havoc over the marketplace to ensure that — no matter what happens — Googlealways wins,\” it says.
