Google won’t be forced to sell Chrome after judge rules divestment a ‘poor fit’ in landmark antitrust case
💻 District Judge Amit Mehta ruled Google won't have to sell Chrome in a landmark antitrust case, but must share search data. Google's stock rose nearly 6% and Apple's by 3%. Google can continue paying $20 billion annually to Apple for search engine placement. Despite DOJ efforts, Google's dominance in search remains, with a 91% global market share as of June 2023. Google’s $198 billion revenue in 2024 underscores its market influence despite antitrust challenges.
