Following a Department of Justice antitrust victory, Google proposes restricting default search placement deals for three years. This comes as the DOJ demanded sweeping changes to Google's search business, including selling Chrome and avoiding exclusive deals with companies like Apple. Google argues that focusing on search deals addresses the core issue raised in the case.

It even kept open the possibility of forcing an Android sale.
