Google Adjusts Services in Response to EU's Digital Markets Act

Changes include new browser choice screens and prioritizing price comparison sites in search results, amid concerns over reduced choices for users.

Google is making changes to its Search, Chrome, and Android services in response to the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which comes into effect in March.
The changes include introducing a new browser choice screen during Android device setup, and a similar choice screen for search engines on Chrome.
Google is also testing changes to how it shows search results for shopping-related queries in Europe, prioritizing links to price comparison sites over individual businesses or products.
Google plans to let European users restrict the amount of data shared between its different services like YouTube, Chrome, and Google Play.
Despite planning to comply with the DMA, Google expressed concerns that some of the new rules may reduce the choices available to people and businesses in Europe.
