This screen of choice will offer them to opt for their default search engine. In this case, a possible selection between Yandex, Google and Mail.ru. For Yandex, this change is presented as "a huge step."
Previously, Chrome's default engine was Google. The user could act on this parameter but a posteriori, by going of its own accord in the parameters of the navigator. The new behavior is to be related to the condemnation in Russia of Google for abuse of dominant position with its mobile operating system Android.
An actor like Yandex had complained about the loss of market share and criticized Google for requiring Android device manufacturers to pre-install their applications and use its services, including its research.
"In accordance with the agreement with Yandex and with the FAS, we have created a new opportunity for research service providers to promote it with the Chrome application On Android devices, "said a spokesman for Google.
Before the end of this year, the European Commission could sanction Google for a big new fine - after the Google Shopping case - for abuse of dominance with Android.
