Unless the prospective buyer's name rhymes with Melon Tusk, I doubt the DOJ will do anything to challenge Google's web monopoly this strongly.

You don't think DOJ will force Google sell chrome? https://www.wired.com/story/the-doj-still-wants-google-to-di...
No, not unless there is a large American buyer already in place. The DOJ did not force Microsoft to sell IE in 2001 either, and back then there was no US software company anywhere near Microsoft's size that would have purchased it. DOJ are not in the business of eliminating a global monopoly if a US company holds said monopoly.
