> Safari is immensely profitable

The exact way Safari itself is immensely profitable is under scruity in this exact DOJ case!

This DOJ case isn't looking to ban payments for default search engines in browsers. It is very unlikely that this entire practice will be outlawed/stopped as a result of this DOJ case.

Yes it is, see page 12 of [1]:

> As set forth in Section IV, the PFJ prohibits Google from offering Apple anything of value for any form of default, placement, or preinstallation distribution (including choice screens) related to general search or a search access point.
