According to foreign media reports, if the judge agrees with the Department of Justice's proposal to force Alphabet Inc. to sell its Chrome browser business, the business could sell for as much as $20 billion, which would also be a historic blow to the global tech giant. According to people familiar with the matter, the Justice Department will ask the judge who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market to ask Google to take measures related to its artificial intelligence (AI) business and Android smartphone operating system. Bloomberg industry research analyst Mandeep Singh said that if the sale goes ahead, Chrome will be worth "at least $150- $20 billion" given that there are more than 3 billion monthly active users.
