David McCabe, reporting for The New York Times:

Google must hand over its search results and some data to rivalcompanies but does not need to break itself up by selling itsChrome web browser, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday. Thedecision, by Judge Amit P. Mehta of the U.S. District Court forthe District of Columbia, falls short of the sweeping changesproposed by the government to rein in the power of Silicon Valley.

Judge Mehta said in the 223-page ruling that Google must sharesome of its search data with “qualified competitors” to resolveits monopoly. The Justice Department had asked the judge to forcethe company to share even more of its data, arguing it was key toGoogle’s dominance.

Judge Mehta also put restrictions on payments that Google uses toensure its search engine gets prime placement in web browsers andon smartphones. But he stopped short of banning those paymentsentirely and did not grant the government’s request that Google beforced to sell Chrome, which the government said was necessary toremedy the company’s power as a search monopoly.

“Notwithstanding this power, courts must approach the task ofcrafting remedies with a healthy dose of humility,” Judge Mehtasaid in Tuesday’s decision. “This court has done so.”

No forced divestiture of Chrome or Android, and Google is allowed to continue making traffic acquisition cost payments to companies like Apple (for search in Safari) and Mozilla (for search in Firefox). The decision seems very reasonable to me. And while the entire ruling is 223 pages, Judge Mehta included a good summary at the front. You can get a feel for it just by reading the first few pages.
