During the trial, Peter Fitzgerald, vice president of platforms and associations of Google devices, said the company He is paying Samsung to give priority to his artificial intelligence Gemini In his mobile Samsung Galaxy S25, even ahead of Bixby’s own assistant.
This monopoly practice gives a more argument to the prosecutor, who asks for Chrome’s sale. But it is not clear that the judge dares to make such a drastic decision.
Google and its supposed monopolistic practices with the GEMINI AI
Google is being judged for its alleged position abuse with its online advertising and your search engine. Judge Amit Mehta has convicted her of Use monopolistic practices through your search engine.
The judge considers that Google has used Chrome as a tool to impose its services, since 85% of users use Chrome, and 60% of searches are carried out from the browser.
For that reason, the prosecutor asks Force Google to sell Chrome. The judge must make a decision, and there are other options, such as a fine and the prohibition of continuing to apply their monopoly practices.
The problem is that for a billionaire giant, Even a fine of thousands, is Calderilla. And Google and company already have too many fines, which have not served anything. That is why more and more legal experts are determined to cut the healthy, forcing to sell assets. The same will happen with goal.

Google, closer to selling Chrome
Google responses to accusations, do not seem very successful either. As reported The VergeGoogle has argued that he sent letters to mobile manufacturers with which he has agreements to cancel them, but it has been known that he sent them last week, when the trial began.
Peter Fitzgerald tried to put as an excuse that Microsoft and Perplexity also tried to pay Samsung to give priority to their AI. But he does not play much in his favor, because Microsoft was expected, but Perplexity is a small company, and could never reach the amounts offered by Google, which demonstrates its domain position.
