Google to allow rival search engines to compete on Android – at a price Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google will allow rivals to compete to be the default search engines on new Android devices in Europe, but they will have to pay for the privilege.

A 3D printed Android mascot Bugdroid is seen in front of a Google logo in this illustration.

The move comes a year after the European Commission fined the U.S. tech giant 4.34 billion euros for blocking rivals by pre-installing its Chrome browser and search app on Android smartphones and notebooks. Rival search engines can apply to join Google among the four options in separate auctions for each individual country. In the event that fewer than three search providers meet or exceed the bid threshold, Google will fill any remaining slots randomly from a pool including those that asked to take part in the auctions but did not submit bids.
