    Not to worry. They're still plenty of lawsuits making their way down the pipeline.

    Google is still facing antitrust issues in the EU under its Digital Markets Act (DMA). It has been accused by the EU Commission of unfairly favoring its own search services and preventing app developers from steering consumers to payment options outside its Play Store. It is also being investigated for concerns that it is unfairly demoting some news results.

    Meanwhile users on Apple devices have freedom of choosing their default browser and app store.

    Oh no wait…
