United States District Judge Amit Mehta has ruled that Google can continue to pay other companies, including browser makers like Mozilla, to be their default search engine.

I see, I'll edit my other comment. So what even changes then, were they even making exclusive deals in the past? The discussion I remember was about how being the default made it difficult for others to compete since most people don't change the defaults.

I think that was mainly solved (here in the EU at least) by requiring a choice of search engine when first opening a browser.

I don't remember this being enforced.
