U.S. Court Issues Antitrust Ruling in Google Search Case
A U.S. judge announced the verdict in the antitrust case concerning Google's dominance in online search. The court ruled that Google does not need to sell its Chrome browser or divest its Android operating system.

The ruling also prohibits Google from entering into exclusive internet search contracts, but allows Google to continue paying companies like Apple to pre-install Google products.
