Google Responds to DOJ Proposals With Remedies

Including The Potential Sell Off Of Its Chrome Browser

Google has published a response to the DOJ proposals over Google's Chrome Browser, and other antitrust proposals, and files its own remedies proposal.

We strongly disagree with and will appeal the decision in the Department of Justice's (DOJ) search distribution lawsuit:

As the Court found, Google achieved its popularity and success through innovation: by building the best search engine and making smart investment and business decisions, like our early investment in mobile. People don't use Google because they have to — they use it because they want to.
And what’s more, the landscape the Court evaluated is highly dynamic. Since the trial ended over a year ago, AI has already rapidly reshaped the industry, with new entrants and new ways of finding information, making it even more competitive.

People don't use Google because they have to — they use it because they want to.

In that case, Google has nothing to worry to abandon deals where Google Search is installed by default in web browser or device. People will continue to find and use Google Search anyhow.

People use Google because on most mobile systems and Chrome it's the default, and most don't know how to change, or don't want to be bothered.

Like saying people don't breath because they have to, but because they want to.

Hi Marshall, isn't there a thing called "involuntary breathing" which humans do, we breath anyhow whether we need it or not.
As opposed to other mammals like whales that breathe only when they surface.
Something like that.

And yet another reason :
In my conversations with many non-technical neighbours and relatives, most of them use Google Search not because they have to or want to, but because they are not aware that there is anything else to search with. (In popular language, how else does one google except with Google?)
