• Exclusive distribution contracts for Google Search, Chrome, Google Assistant and the Gemini app are prohibited, though non‑exclusive payments for preloading or placement may continue.
• The ruling requires public disclosure of material changes to Google’s search ad auctions to increase pricing transparency.
• Judge Amit Mehta rejected Justice Department requests to force a Chrome divestiture or include a contingent Android sale, calling those demands overreach.
• Remedies run six years and take effect 60 days after final judgment entry; Google plans to appeal as a separate ad‑tech remedies proceeding moves forward this month.
