Google emails from 2009 cited in the House antitrust report show some employees were concerned about promoting Chrome on the company's homepage

accuses Google of being "an ecosystem of interlocking monopolies" and an "overwhelmingly dominant" online search provider.

The report highlighted how Google began promoting its Chrome browser at the top corner of the Google.com homepage in 2009 in an effort to get Internet Explorer users to switch."I find the very, very high-profile promotion of Google Chrome on Google.com quite frankly, startling," read one email between Chrome employees from 2009, which was obtained by the committee and cited in the report.

Further documents confirmed that the web promotion performed well for Google at the time, driving "a tremendous number of downloads," according to one email. This was despite Google later telling the Justice Department's Antitrust Division in a 2019 presentation that Chrome was launched "as a defensive move to protect users' access to Google's products," according to the report.
