>>Amazon Cracks Down On Prime Free Shipping Sharing

>>Google Keeping Chrome But No Exclusive Search Deals
(Mountain View, CA) -- A federal judge is allowing Google to keep its Chrome browser. Tuesday's ruling stems from a landmark case filed in 2020, where the Department of Justice alleged that Google kept its share of the general search market by creating strong barriers to entry and a feedback loop that sustained its dominance. Last year, a district court judge ruled that Google violated the Sherman Act, which outlaws monopolies, and said the company has held an illegal monopoly in its core market of internet search. Now Google will be able to keep Chrome, but the judge has determined that the tech giant will be barred from exclusive contracts and must share search data.
