In a recent decision, the courts ruled that Google’s dominance of the Chrome browser cannot be attributed to illegal activities enough to force a sell-off. This marks a significant moment in ongoing discussions about tech monopolies.

Key Takeaways:

• Google will retain Chrome and is not required to divest.
• The judgment found that the company’s dominance is not solely due to illegal conduct but also attributed to its innovation and quality service.
• Many provisions proposed by the plaintiffs were dismissed, as they did not significantly address existing issues.

This ruling concludes the Google monopoly case that began in late 2020 and places the technology giant’s future strategies around generative AI and competition front and center.
