Google won’t have to sell Chrome, judge rules

SMRTR summary

Google retains ownership of Chrome after Judge Mehta's ruling in the DOJ antitrust case, despite violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. The court imposed milder remedies, requiring Google to share some search data with competitors and limiting exclusive distribution deals. Google can still pay for search placement but cannot force partners to distribute its products in exchange for access to services like the Play Store.
