The ruling removes a big concern for investors who view the web browser and the Android operating system as key pieces of Google’s business.
A judge ruled largely in favour of Alphabet’s Google on Tuesday, rejecting US prosecutors’ bid to make the company sell off its popular Chrome browser and Android operating system but compelling the tech giant to share data with competitors to open up competition in online search.
Alphabet shares were up nearly 6.7 per cent in extended trading on Tuesday as investors cheered the judge’s ruling.
