    “Google’s core argument that its search engine wins default status due to its quality, not due to anticompetitive behaviors.”

        The biggest risk for Google would be for Apple to enter the search market. It’s not hard, as proven by smaller players like DuckDuckGo, but it’s risky enough that Apple takes the 20B and consider it a good deal.

        Have you tried Kagi? The search results seems to be a lot better than Google. I’m able to find what I need using search terms that would only returns spammy e-commerce results on Google.
