Google Loses US Antitrust Suit (youtube.com)
Microsoft/Crowdstrike is arguing that it's Delta's fault because they turned down repeated offers from Microsoft to help. Lol. I guess that's the best one they could come up with.

The finding that Google is a monopoly power is detailed and strong, which means it might not be overturned easily.
So what will happen (to replace the monopoly of Google Search)? Anyone want to be that Microsoft (the government) will have a product that fits in here.
Maybe people will be offered a list of search engines (when they open up their phone for the first time), but they're entrenched now so even when people have a list they still pick Google. I still use Google when BraveSearch doesn't give me the results I want or when I know it's not going to. But it could easily improve just by providing what Google Search provides. For example, Brave doesn't always display a stock chart or crypto price when I search for it, instead presenting results. They should pay a low price to Yahoo or CNBC or whoever to use their charts (or make their own API) and display this.
Microsoft reportedly said they'd pay any amount to be defaulted on iPhone, even saying Apple can rebrand Bing as Apple. Another option is Apple could make a deal with OpenAI.
