The U.S. Justice Department has proposed breaking up Google and forcing it to sell Chrome, the most popular web browser in the world.
Divesting Google of Chrome would have significant implications for millions of users as features dependent on Google would break immediately.
The search experience on a Google-less Chrome would look and feel different, potentially leading to innovative changes in default search engine options or choice screens.
If Google is forced to sell Chrome but maintains control of the underlying Chromium technology, it could still wield significant market power.
