This is a well written summary. From the article, the European Commission requires Google to respond to these three accusations: > 1. Tying Google’s search and browser apps to the Google Play Store. From the user's perspective, this is not even true. For example, Samsung devices ship with their own browser on the home screen [a]. The user has to seek out the Chrome app (that is pre-installed) in order to use it. Besides, Play, Chrome and Search are Google's products and they should be allowed to bundle them as they wish. Technically, they could be one app. > 2. Paying OEMs to exclusively pre-install Google Search on every Android device they made. This point is moot. Google no longer does that. In fact, unbundling the Play store from search will force a bidding war for the default search engine, which will end up with Google paying to add Search on a product they are giving away for free. > 3. Barring OEMs that installed Google’s apps from selling any device that ran an Android fork. This feels absurd to me. Google is under no obligation to offer an open-source version of Android in the first place. If they decide to retract the OSS version, which is well within their right, how exactly are OEMs restricted ? How is EU better off in that case ? Is EU going to _force_ Google to give away Android for free ? [a] ..except in the US.
