Google must not preinstall any Search Access Point on any new Google Device.
That search bar at the bottom of Android? Gone. I don't even know how Chrome OS works now.
Google must display a Choice Screen on every new and existing instance of a Google Browser where the user has not previously affirmatively selected a default [search engine] for that Google Browser, including by changing the search default through the settings.
This is arguably more aggressive than what the EU did to Microsoft and Internet Explorer.
This is a shellacking by Justice and the Plaintiffs against Google. I honestly don't know how Chrome survives on its own without search attached—ironically, perhaps as a non-profit foundation? That'd be pretty funny.
Ostensibly advertisers would still want preferential access to the dominant browser, in whatever shape it ends up, but then...wouldn't it baldly just be an ad viewing apparatus?
This is an unbelievable opportunity for Mozilla, which I have every confidence they can fumble.
