Google remains intact as the U.S. District Court issues its final ruling on the DOJ’s antitrust case. While Chrome avoids a forced breakup, the decision bars Google from engaging in exclusive distribution contracts, compelling the tech giant to rework its business strategy moving forward.

A federal judge has ruled that Google must end exclusive agreements making its search engine the default on many devices. The move, stemming from an antitrust complaint, potentially opens the door for competitors and could cost Google billions, even though Chrome remains unaffected and Google plans to appeal.
