Current title "Japan orders Google to stop favoring Google Search, Chrome on Android" is better.

At this point even if search and browser were completely neutral choices on Android it wouldn't change things much. Search is even losing relevance to LLMs.

The thing Japan's FTC was worried about was a bit of a mystery to me.

A search app? One doesn't start a browser and go to a search page?

Sorry, I don't run the goggle malware, so I wasn't aware...
