Alphabet shares jump 8% after court allows Google to maintain Chrome and preload agreements.

Google's Legal Victory: A federal judge ruled that Google can retain its Chrome browser and Android operating system, rejecting the DOJ's request for a breakup due to illegal monopoly findings, leading to an 8% surge in Alphabet's stock.

Limited Data Sharing Requirements: While the court mandated Google to share certain datasets with rivals, it did not require the company to disclose advertising data, which is crucial for its revenue, and allowed Google to continue its default search engine payments to Apple.
