After OpenAI, Yahoo says it is ready to buy Google Chrome browser: ‘…arguably the most important strategic…’

Yahoo has indicated that it intends to bid for the Google Chrome web browser should a federal court order the tech giant to divest the asset as a remedy for its alleged illegal search monopoly. Brian Provost, the General Manager for Yahoo Search, testified on Thursday (April 24) during the ongoing remedies phase of the justice department’s antitrust trial against Google in Washington. Provost stated that Yahoo estimates the value of Chrome to be in the tens of billions of dollars.

“Chrome is arguably the most important strategic player on the web. We would be able to pursue it with Apollo [Global Management Inc.],” Provost asserted, as per Bloomberg.
