On Tuesday, a federal judge decided that Google would protect the Chrome browser, but that he would be banned from exclusive contracts and that he had to share search data.
In a turning point in 2020, the US Department of Justice claimed that Google has kept its share from the general search market by creating a strong obstacles for entry and a feedback cycle that maintains its sovereignty.

Google said it would object to the decision that will delay possible penalties.
