On July 14, 2026, Switzerland's Competition Commission (COMCO) initiated a preliminary investigation into Alphabet Inc. regarding the removal of the "Choice Screen" feature on Android devices within the Swiss market. The regulator is evaluating whether making Google Search the default engine without a selection prompt—a feature still maintained in the European Economic Area—constitutes an abuse of market dominance. This development introduces fresh regulatory risk in a key non--EU jurisdiction and follows the recent finalization of major antitrust penalties against the company's mobile distribution model.
