A federal judge ruled that Google will not be forced to sell its Chrome browser or break up its search engine, despite concerns over its monopoly power. The decision, made by Judge Amit Mehta, allows Google to maintain its default search engine contracts while imposing some restrictions on its practices. The ruling is seen as a mixed outcome for the US Justice Department, which aims to increase competition in the tech industry, particularly in light of advancements in AI. Google and its supporters view the decision as a validation of its business practices.
