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

    Then why pay Apple 20 billion for default star?

        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. I’m on a trial account but so far I’m impressed and might consider getting a paid family subscription if my wife also like it.
