A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Google can keep its Chrome browser but will be barred from exclusive contracts and must share search data.
Alphabet shares popped 6% in extended trading.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta ruled against the most severe consequences that were proposed by the U.S. Department of Justice, including selling off its Chrome browser, which provides data that helps its advertising business deliver targeted ads.
“Google will not be required to divest Chrome; nor will the court include a contingent divestiture of the Android operating system in the final judgment,” the decision states. “Plaintiffs overreached in seeking forced divesture of these key assets, which Google did not use to effect any illegal restraints.”

The folks at Google are too smart and too successful for their own good.
Google is Alphabet, Alphabet is information collection and information control for the NWO government. Alphabet is owned by BlackRock. The NWO owns the global courts.
The Google search and other monopoly’s has set technological advancement back 10 years. It is something that cant be accurately measured, unfortunately. It is a great relief that AI is coming out in a competitive way.
From Wikipedia:
Mehta was born in 1971 in Patan, Gujarat, India.[4] At the age of one, Mehta moved with his parents, Priyavadan and Ragini Mehta, to the United States.[5] His mother worked as a laboratory technician, while his father worked as an engineer.[6] Mehta was raised in Reisterstown, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore.

Enough with these foreign born federal judges, eh. We’ve learned our lesson — change the law that allows these anti-American freaks to rule the roost.
Google search is a joke nowadays. Many times I do a search and get nothing with what I was looking for.
I can’t make up my mind who I hate most - Alphabet/Google or “antitrust” lawsuits - both a plague on us.
Google needs to divest Android.
“I can’t make up my mind who I hate most - Alphabet/Google or “antitrust” lawsuits - both a plague on us.”
Agreed. It’s a toss-up.
Google up 15. AAPL up 7
