WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Justice will ask a judge to force Alphabet Inc.’s Google to sell off its Chrome browser, Bloomberg reported on Monday.

Citing people familiar with the plans, Bloomberg also reported that the department will ask the judge, who ruled in August that Google illegally monopolized the search market, to require measures related to artificial intelligence and its Android smartphone operating system.
