Another giant wants to buy Google Chrome

Internet company Yahoo is interested in buying the Google Chrome browser if a US federal judge rules that Google must sell it.

Google may be forced to do this to avoid monopoly charges, and Yahoo CEO Brian Provost said in a court hearing that Yahoo is interested, the Telegraph reports.

According to him, Yahoo estimates that Chrome will be sold at a price of several tens of billions of dollars, Bloomberg reports.

Yahoo was the leading player in the online search market at the beginning of the 21st century, but later lost its position as Google became very successful.

Yahoo has been sold several times and as of 2021 is owned by Apollo Global Management.

OpenAI is also interested in the Chrome browser, product manager Nick Turley said in a court hearing last week.

ChatGPT already has a Chrome extension available for download, but Tarli believes deeper integration would create a better product.

The United States Department of Justice believes Google has monopolized the market and is demanding that the company sell part of its business, including Chrome, to allow for greater competition.

On the other hand, Google argues that the government's proposal would harm consumers, degrade everyday products and undermine the United States' leadership in technology. /Telegraph/
