Laura Chambers, CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, which makes the Firefox browser, says the Department of Justice’s proposed remedies in the Google search antitrust trial would only hurt independent browser companies.
The remedy phase of one of the antitrust cases against Google wrapped up last week and the judge is expected to issue his decision by August on how the company must address its monopoly in search.
One option suggested by the Justice Department: ban Google from paying browsers to make its search engine the default. But Mozilla, the developer of the independent Firefox browser, has opposed this remedy.
Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Laura Chambers, CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, about how the move would be crippling for smaller browsers like theirs.
