Description

E791: Google just dodged its massive antitrust penalty - being forced to sell Chrome. A U.S. judge ruled against the DOJ’s harshest remedies, letting Google keep its browser but banning exclusive contracts and ordering data sharing with rivals.

In this episode, I break down:
- Why Google stock jumped 8% after the ruling
- What this means for Chrome, SEO, and digital marketers
- How search data sharing could reshape competition
- Whether this opens the door for Bing and other search engines
- The hidden role Chrome plays in Google’s algorithms

This is some of the biggest SEO news in years - and the ripple effects could be massive.
