Google still win if/when they lose this case.
They won’t be able to pay 3rd parties, but those 3rd parties will still end up referring their users to google and google pockets the fees they previously paid.
The whole “choice” process is a farce in the EU. People still choose google because they don’t know any different.
- NotPractical 2y ago> The whole “choice” process is a farce in the EU. What do you suggest? Forcing people to use DuckDuckGo against their will?
- supermatt 2y agoRemoving google from the list entirely. If people want it they should actively seek it out to install, like every other search engine other than the “curated” 6.
- Kuinox 2y agoIt will allow me to use the search engine I use in the os integration. Currently it open google, I use Kagi, which should be soon an option.
- bradyd 2y agoYou can already choose a different search engine than Google. You are given the option of Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia. But it would be nice if you could add your own.
- Kuinox 2y agoThat why I said "it will", I pay for Kagi, and soon Kagi will be in this list (they need a download count threshold on their app)
- schnable 2y agoYes, in a vacuum, but there are other antitrust cases and remedies in play against Google that have the goal of further reducing their dominance in search and advertising.
