Google has implemented changes to its search results to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, which it warns will degrade the quality of its search service. The new format prioritizes price comparison sites like Expedia and Booking.com over direct business listings, removing helpful features such as real-time prices. This shift follows a $534 million fine for Google favoring its own services and a 60-day deadline to comply or face penalties.
