Google loses antitrust suit over search deals on phones

At the very least, I hope the Apple-Google ~~exclusivity~~ default agreement is revoked. I suppose it’ll take another year to figure out the actual remedies though.

This could be bad for Mozilla?

Yes it could very well be although I expect Google to appeal this ruling.

Remember folks, it isn't over yet, I'd expect Google to appeal this one and this is just about their search dominance.

There is another one on the way with the DOJ going after their Ads business. [0]

I think a year for the remedies is optimistic - could drag on for a while. Also worth mentioning that it is not an exclusivity agreement - it is a default agreement.

This could surely open the door for Apple Search as the silver lining.
