Why Google Search Might No Longer Be Default

In a landmark decision, a federal judge ruled that $Alphabet(GOOG)$'s payments to make its search engine the default on smartphone web browsers violate US antitrust law. This ruling marks a significant victory for the Justice Department in its ongoing battle against monopolistic practices in the tech industry. Judge Amit Mehta's decision in Washington highlights that Google's $26 billion in payments effectively blocked other competitors from gaining a foothold in the market. This default positioning allowed Google to dominate the search engine landscape and maintain its position as the most-used search engine globally, driving over $300 billion in annual revenue primarily through search ads.
