Google keeps Chrome and Apple deal but must share data in big antitrust ruling
Summary: A judge ruled that Google can keep its Chrome browser and Android operating system but must share data with competitors to increase competition in online search. This ruling is a win for Google, as it avoids selling off key assets, but the data-sharing requirement poses a potential competitive risk. The ruling also allows Google to continue making lucrative payments to Apple and other device makers for search revenue sharing.
