Chris Barton, a former Google executive, recently testified that the tech giant aggressively pushed for its search engine to be the default on mobile carriers and Android smartphones. Barton revealed that Google recognized the “massive value of mobile users relying on its search engine on early smartphones.

This testimony is central to the DOJ’s claim that Google has engaged in anti-competitive practices to maintain its dominant hold on the U.S. search engine market. The federal government argued that Google paid “more than $10 billion per year” to various companies, including tech giants like Apple and Samsung, to secure a staggering 91 percent share of the search engine market.

Google, however, has vehemently denied any wrongdoing.

He further added that the payments to partners were “fair compensation” and that users could easily change their default search engine if they wished.
