Google pays 26 billion to be the default search engine

Anyone who enters a search query in the browser line usually ends up at Google. In a court case, it is becoming clear for the first time how much the company is paying for this. A particularly large amount of money goes to Apple.

The US government and various federal states are suing Alphabet. They accuse the company of unfairly hindering competition. Google's lawyers are defending themselves with the argument that it is very easy to change the default search engine in browsers. The reason why users favour Google is the quality of the service.
