In a court filing on Friday, the government signaled a continuation of tough regulatory pressure on the search giant.

The government is asking a court to force Google to sell its Chrome web browser after the company was found to have an illegal monopoly in search.

Google will have to break up its business, the Justice Department said in a filing, upholding the previous administration's proposal after a federal judge ruled last year that the company illegally abused a monopoly over the search industry.
