To whom? Who will then fund Chromium? Also, what will happen to Firefox now Google can no longer fund 88% of Mozilla with their bribes?
Why shouldn't they be able to pay apple and mozilla to select google as their default search engine? Will this also be prohibited?
~~It's been ruled in court. More details~~
Edit: nope, sorry, thanks to @Mocheeze@lemmy.world for correction
Only Google being a monopoly has been ruled. The remedy hasn't been decided. And your article is very out of date because the DoJ hadn't even made their proposal then. That only happened this week. Google will give their proposal in December. The decision from the judge comes later in 2025. Then Google will appeal anyway. None of this is going to happen any time soon, and very likely it won't at all given the chances coming to the presidency and their stance towards this sort of government action.
