Wow.

I'm curious what court orders flow down from that decision.

Good news for the Web, although the 'remedy' portion is coming up.  Change is coming.  Apple is dusting off it's contingency plans (I have seen more of Applebot lately.)

I have been wondering, outside of Mozilla, what happens to all the Google services? Can GMail make enough via ads if the email platform and the ad platform are no longer the same company?

Based on Hotmail and Yahoo the answer, I think, is yes, but that ads are going to become way more intrusive (my recollection is that ads are minimal in Gmail and plastered all over Hotmail).

Does Google Workspace make a profit?
