Google’s Sundar Pichai decried bad ‘optics’ of search engine deal with Apple

Emails written by Google CEO Sundar Pichai in 2007, prior to his current role, express concerns about Google's agreement to pay Apple for being the pre-selected search engine on the Safari browser. The emails were introduced as evidence in the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust case against Google. Pichai raised concerns about the lack of choice for users in the agreement and suggested that Yahoo should be an alternative option. The suit alleges that Google paid Apple billions to prevent rival search engines from gaining users, a claim Google denies.
