In Order Not To Dominate Google Is Forced To Sell Chrome browser

JAKARTA - What happens if the tech giant Google is forced to sell its Chrome browser engine and a number of other advertising businesses. This decision was made based on the results of an investigation by the United States Department of Justice and Human Rights (Department of Justice).

Reporting from Gizchina , Tuesday, October 13, this was done to reduce Google's power in managing the internet. Where US regulators suspect Google and its services too dominate the digital market and business.

The report also warns of the growth of Google's cloud business, including the difficulty for third-party companies to compete. Where Google has just acquired Fitbit which is predicted to strengthen the company's position in the US market.

“The company that has an absolute dominant position in terms of online search is Google. These contribute 81 percent respectively to search queries on desktop computers and 94 percent to general search query results for mobile devices in the US, "the report states.

Google will also face an uphill battle, especially if a proposal to sell Chrome comes up. However, he could debate how this could interfere with parts of his operations such as breaking the Web, given how many businesses, applications and services have tied up not only to the Chrome web browser but also to Chrome OS and its open source Chromium.

It is known, this case does not only happen to Google. Other large companies, such as Amazon, Apple and Facebook, are also currently undergoing investigations.

The US Antitrust Committee said that this was done to reduce the monopoly of these technology giant companies. Meanwhile, in recent months Europe has taken similar steps, although the targets are quite different.

In Europe, Apple is reportedly being forced to open NFC access on iPhone devices, so that third-party developers can become partners for the technology. This was done because Apple was accused of having an NFC monopoly on the iPhone and Apple Watch only for the Apple Pay payment option.
