Yahoo Eyes Google Chrome Acquisition in Potential Tech Shakeup

Yahoo, backed by Apollo Global Management, has expressed strong interest in acquiring Google’s Chrome browser if a US court mandates its divestment, as confirmed by Brian Provost, Yahoo Search general manager, on Thursday, April 24, 2025.

The statement, made during an antitrust hearing in Washington, highlights a potential seismic shift in the tech industry.

Provost described Chrome as “arguably the most important strategic player on the web,” valuing it in the “tens of billions of dollars.” Yahoo, which Apollo acquired in 2021, is developing its browser but sees Chrome as a critical asset to bolster its position in the digital ecosystem. The company’s interest stems from Chrome’s dominance in browsing, search integration, and digital advertising.

Antitrust Case Against Google

The testimony is part of a three-week hearing in the US Department of Justice’s antitrust case against Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company. In a landmark 2024 ruling, District Judge Amit Mehta declared Google’s search monopoly illegal. The current proceedings focus on remedies, with the Justice Department and US states advocating for Chrome’s divestment to restore competition in search and digital advertising markets.

Yahoo isn’t alone in eyeing Chrome. Nick Turley, chief of Chatgpt at Openai, testified earlier that Openai would also bid for the browser, noting its strategic value. “Yes, we would, like many other parties,” Turley said, underscoring Chrome’s appeal across the tech sector. The browser’s market dominance makes it a prized asset for competitors seeking to challenge Google’s ecosystem.

The trial could set a precedent for antitrust enforcement in the digital age, with Judge Mehta’s remedy ruling expected later in 2025. A forced Chrome divestment could reshape the browser, search, and advertising markets, giving companies like Yahoo a chance to reclaim prominence.
