Google doesn't have to sell its wildly popular Chrome web browser, but it can't engage in exclusive search deals, US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on Tuesday. Google must share limited search data and user-interaction data with "qualified competitors," but the company doesn't have to share its most valuable ads data.

Judge Amit P. Mehta said the company must hand over some of its search data to rivals, but did not force other big changes the U.S. wanted.

Alphabet’s Google does not have to sell its Chrome web browser but must share some of its search and other data with competitors, a federal judge decided in the Justice Department’s landmark case against the search giant.
