Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has dismissed Google's final appeal against a €4.1 billion ($4.7 billion) antitrust fine over the company's use of Android to promote its Chrome browser and search service.
This is the conclusion of a European Commission decision in 2018 that Google abused its dominant market position by using Android agreements to promote its products.
Back then, the Commission highlighted the following practices that were deemed illegal:
Requiring device manufacturers to pre-install Google Search and Chrome in order to license the Play Store.
Requiring manufacturers not to sell devices running Android versions not approved by Google (anti-fragmentation agreements)
