Google breaking off Chrome is a proposed remedy by the US Department of Justice in US v. Google, in which Judge Amit Mehta ruled last year that the company is a monopolist in online search. The remedies phase of the trial began on Monday. Google plans to appeal the ruling.

An OpenAI exec said during Google's antitrust trial this week that OpenAI would be interested in buying Google's Chrome browser.

Government lawyers made their case in opening statements, saying that Google should be forced to sell Chrome, its web browser, which pushes people to the Google search engine.The company should also be forced to help rival search engines that it has unfairly kept out of competition,
