• The Department of Justice has called for Google to sell its Chrome browser and overhaul its search practices to address its monopoly.
• Two options have been proposed for Android: immediate action to fix monopolistic practices or prolonged court oversight.
• Google plans to appeal the final ruling, arguing that the proposal could harm consumers and the tech industry.
