Oh and on my Android phone, I had to set my search engine.

Just remember that EU antitrust isn't about consumer harm but about protecting "competition", for arbitrary values of competition.

So, for example, collusion to fix ebook prices only merits a warning but including a media player in an OS since before media players became important merits serious prosecution and a big fine.

Also, it matters if the company targeted is european.
(Off the top of my head I can't recall a single european tech company getting targeted.)

The key word in Euro antitrust turns out to be "arbitrary".
