Alphabet is the parent company of Google, the world’s most widely used search engine. Other products and services offered through Google include its Chrome web browser, Gmail, the Pixel line of smartphones, and the artificial intelligence (AI) assistant Gemini. Alphabet owns several other major companies, including YouTube, Waymo, Waze, Nest, and Fitbit.
In 2024, a judge ruled that Google’s search business is an illegal monopoly. In September 2025, another judge ruled against the harshest penalties proposed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including the breakup of Google through the sale of Chrome or Android. Google can also still pay partners to preload its search engine onto their products, but it can no longer demand exclusivity as part of those deals.
