Google vs DOJ: CEO Sundar Pichai set to testify in Chrome browser case

Google CEO Sundar Pichai is slated to testify in a landmark antitrust trial in Washington, where US justice department is pushing for a court order that could force the tech giant to divest its allegedly dominant Chrome web browser and implement other significant measures aimed at fostering greater competition among online search providers.

According to a report by news agency Reuters, Pichai’s testimony will form a crucial part of Alphabet’s defense against the US Department of Justice’s proposals, which the company argues would inadvertently harm browser developers, smartphone manufacturers and internet users alike.
