Google illegally maintains monopoly over internet search, judge rules
Briefly

After having carefully considered and weighed the witness testimony and evidence, the court reaches the following conclusion: Google is a monopolist, and it has acted as one to maintain its monopoly... Google 'enjoys an 89.2% share of the market for general search services, which increases to 94.9% on mobile devices,' the ruling said.
It represents a major setback for Google and its parent, Alphabet Inc., which had steadfastly argued that its popularity stemmed from consumers' overwhelming desire to use a search engine so good at what it does... Google's search engine currently processes an estimated 8.5 billion queries per day worldwide.
