Though the United States' enforcement of anti-trust principles as of late is likely better for the consumer and broader market, the latest hearing isn't the end of the case. United States v. Google LLC (1:20-cv-03010) began proceedings in October 2020 and was decided in August of this year.

Google proposes remedies to avoid selling Chrome and Android, aiming to balance competition and user experience.

It was reported in mid-November that the Department of Justice and the presiding judge, Amit Mehta, have sought to force Google to sell Chrome for anti-competitive practices. This follows the government's landmark ruling that the company broke Section 2 of the Sherman Act, turning it into an illegal search monopoly.

Google Chrome will automatically archive duplicate tabs on Android for a smoother browsing experience. Chrome Canary offers a preview of this feature, but there's no guarantee it will be released worldwide. The new tab management option will keep only the latest version of duplicated tabs open, reducing clutter.

Google has proposed alternative remedies to address its antitrust violations, responding to the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) push for drastic measures like selling Chrome and restricting its practices favoring its search engine.
