As the digital landscape continues to evolve, one behemoth stands tall – Google. With its unmistakable presence in the online search realm, Google’s dominance is unparalleled. In the United States alone, nearly 90% of search queries gravitate towards Google in 2020, with an overwhelming 95% on mobile devices. Microsoft’s Bing trails far behind at just 6%, leaving Google in a league of its own.
Recently, the US Department of Justice proposed measures to combat Google’s alleged monopoly, ranging from milder restrictions on payments to smartphone manufacturers in exchange for exclusivity to the drastic option of breaking up the company altogether. The idea of dismantling Google’s Chrome browser or Android operating system may seem like a formidable solution, but the question lingers – will it really dismantle Google’s stronghold?
Even in Europe, where users are given a choice of search engines upon setting up a new phone, nine out of ten still opt for Google. The upcoming hearing in April, with Judge Amit Mehta at the helm, promises to tackle this issue head-on, aiming to reach a verdict by 2025.
