Overview

• Google is making changes to its Search, Chrome, and Android services in response to the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which comes into effect in March.
• The changes include introducing a new browser choice screen during Android device setup, and a similar choice screen for search engines on Chrome.
• Google is also testing changes to how it shows search results for shopping-related queries in Europe, prioritizing links to price comparison sites over individual businesses or products.
• Google plans to let European users restrict the amount of data shared between its different services like YouTube, Chrome, and Google Play.
• Despite planning to comply with the DMA, Google expressed concerns that some of the new rules may reduce the choices available to people and businesses in Europe.
