• Google has hit out at the US Department of Justice after it called for Google to sell Chrome and make major changes to Android.
• The search giant called it an extreme proposal and argued that it would endanger the security and privacy of users.
• Google also argued that this order would expose US citizens’ search queries to other foreign and domestic companies.

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has just called on Google to sell its Chrome web browser and make major changes to Android or sell the platform. Now, Google has hit back against this court filing.

The search giant reacted to the DoJ filing by saying the department was pushing a “radical interventionist agenda” and that this “extreme proposal” would have various adverse effects. It started by saying that selling Chrome and possibly Android would “endanger the security and privacy of millions of Americans” and “undermine” the quality of products.
