In a court filing, the US Department of Justice urged a shake-up of Google’s business that includes banning deals for Google to be the default search engine on smartphones.
The Department on Wednesday asked the judge to order the dismantling by ordering the tech giant to sell its popular browser. The proposals reportedly include banning Google deal to be the default search engine on smartphones and possibly requiring Google to sell Android.
Antitrust officials said that the tech giant should be made to sell Android if the proposed remedies don’t prevent it from exploiting its control of the Android mobile operating system.
It suggested remedies to dismantle what it views as Google’s monopolistic stranglehold on the internet 

• Ending default search deals: Google would no longer be allowed to pay companies like Apple to make its search engine the default on devices.
• Selling Chrome: By controlling the browser market, the DOJ argues, Google strengthens its grip on search and user data. 
• Potential Android sale.
  These DOJ recommendations come after an August judgement by Judge Amit Mehta who ruled that Google by maintaining a monopoly on the search engine market, had violated laws.
  Google fires back
  Slamming the US government proposal, Google president of global affairs Kent Walker said Justice officials “chose to push a radical interventionist agenda”.
  These remedies “would break a range of Google products” and undermine the company’s investment in technologies like artificial intelligence, Walker said.
  Google is expected to make its recommendations in a filing next month and rival sides will argue their positions at a hearing in April before US District Court Judge Amit Mehta.
  Regardless of Judge Mehta’s eventual decision, Google is expected to appeal the ruling, prolonging the process for years and potentially leaving the final say to the US Supreme Court.
  DOJ’s approach would result in unprecedented government overreach that would harm American consumers, developers, and small businesses — and jeopardize America’s global economic and technological leadership,” he added.
  Adam Kovacevich, chief executive of industry trade group Chamber of Progress, said the government’s demands were “fantastical” and defied legal standards, instead calling for narrowly tailored remedies.
  The trial, which concluded last year, scrutinized Google’s confidential agreements with smartphone manufacturers, including Apple.
  These deals involve substantial payments to secure Google’s search engine as the default option on browsers, iPhones and other devices.
  The judge determined that this arrangement provided Google with unparalleled access to user data, enabling it to develop its search engine into a globally dominant platform.
  From this position, Google expanded its tech and data-gathering empire to include the Chrome browser, Maps and the Android smartphone operating system.
