U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta has indicated he will issue his ultimate ruling on what to do about the tech giant's dominance of the online search market in early August.

Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) battle with the Justice Department nears its end as attorneys deliver closing arguments in the high-profile antitrust case over Chrome and search dominance. Yahoo Finance Technology Editor Dan Howley joins Market Domination to explain what's at stake for Google's browser and how the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) search tools is reshaping the landscape.

OpenAI, Perplexity AI and Yahoo have expressed interest in buying Chrome, as Google's legal battle escalates. Here's what it could mean for the future of the web.

Google announced at I/O on Tuesday that it's launching a Gemini integration in Chrome, giving users access to a new browsing assistant.

If you don’t feel like typing, Gemini in Chrome also lets you switch to its “Live” feature by selecting the button in the bottom-right corner of the dialogue box. From there, you can simply ask a question out loud, and Gemini will respond by speaking to you.

Google is also using “Gemini” as a catch-all for various AI functions, much in the same way that Microsoft uses Copilot as an AI brand. Google, like Microsoft, is pushing agentic AI, where various bits of autonomous AI work independently to pursue tasks.

The Justice Department and Google have one final chance to convince a federal judge how the tech giant should change its practices so it can no longer monopolize the search market.
