Workaccount2 ◴[] No.45108892[source]
Firefox can still get money, and maybe Apple too. The ruling says they can pay for preload, but not for exclusivity.

Google also must share search data with competitors, but it's not totally clear what this is. The ruling mentions helping other engines with "long tail" queries.

All in all this seems like a pretty mild ruling, and an appeal can generally only help Google from a not to bad ruling at this point.

Yeah, I don't think Google is the "exclusive" on either Apple OSes or Firefox. Just the default.

using that argument nothing is exclusive, no browser is hard coded to a single search engine
