The article is full of hyperbole. > it's still too early to tell if U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta will side with the Justice Department and try to handcuff one of the world's most dominant tech companies. Till this point, only DOJ has been arguing their case, and Google will get a chance in a few days according to the schedule. DOJ's entire case rests on the theory of defaults from the arguments they have made. Covered extensively here[1]. Google refuted that with saying how edge and safari are default and yet people switch to chrome. Same with Bing and Google search. So they focused on how mobile makes it hard to switch defaults. Another vector they went to was how Google Search ads is a market in itself. That would be another antitrust case about advertising dominance, but in here they seem like an add on. It is tough to prove Google is abusing it's monopoly and there is a customer harm. At this point it is hard to tell from the outside given only one side has presented it's case.
