    Why shouldn’t they be able to pay apple and mozilla to select google as their default search engine? Will this also be prohibited?

        Only Google being a monopoly has been ruled. The remedy hasn’t been decided. And your article is very out of date because the DoJ hadn’t even made their proposal then. That only happened this week. Google will give their proposal in December. The decision from the judge comes later in 2025. Then Google will appeal anyway. None of this is going to happen any time soon, and very likely it won’t at all given the chances coming to the presidency and their stance towards this sort of government action.
