The U.S. Department of Justice reportedly wants Google to sell the Chrome browser. Here's why that could prove tricky for consumers and rival browser makers.

Alphabet Inc.’s Chrome browser could go for as much as $20 billion if a judge agrees to a Justice Department proposal to sell the business, in what would be a historic crackdown on one of the world’s biggest tech companies.

After a long-running antitrust case found the tech giant guilty of monopolistic behavior, the Justice Department is considering breaking the globally popular web browser off from its parent company.
