Chocolate Factory relies on dominance for bulk of its revenues, says US

Both the US government and Google will today present their closing arguments in the search engine monopoly case from September.concerns Google's supremacy in the world of web search engines, which the government argues only exists thanks to anticompetitive practices. By paying electronics vendors and developers to use Google by default, the Department of Justice says the Chocolate Factory created a monopoly where other search engines can't compete.

Though all those billions were enough for Apple not to make its own search engine or use Bing, apparently they weren't enough to stop the companybehind closed doors. At trial, the Department of Justice revealed internal documents and presentations that showed Apple had significant privacy concerns about Google Search, and called Android"a massive tracking device.

Google's argument has always been that it's in a distant first because it's simply the best and its deals are just the cost of doing business. Pichai even says its deals made for better competition, and that if users wanted to stop using Google search, they can whenever they want.
