Last year, Judge Mehta found that Google illegally trampled its competition in search. The case centred around Google's position as the default search engine on a range of its own products such as Android and Chrome as well as others from companies including Apple.
This spring, during the second phase of the antitrust case aimed at determining remedies, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) demanded that Google sell Chrome, the world's most popular web browser. The US Department of Justice had demanded that Google sell Chrome - Tuesday's decision means the tech giant can keep it but it will be barred from having exclusive contracts and must share search data with rivals.

The tech giant had denied wrongdoing since charges were first filed against it in 2020, saying its market dominance is because its search engine is a superior product to others and consumer simply prefer it to others.
