		</div><p>Google has said it will start giving European Union smartphone users a choice of browsers and search apps on its Android operating system, in changes designed to comply with an EU antitrust ruling.</p>
<p>Following an Android update, users will be shown two new screens giving them the new options, Google product management director Paul Gennai said in a blog post.</p>
<p>The EU’s executive commission slapped the Silicon Valley giant with a record €4.34 billion antitrust fine in July after finding that it abused the dominance of Android by forcing handset and tablet makers to install Google apps, reducing consumer choice.</p>
<p>The commission had ordered Google to come up with a remedy or face further fines.</p>
<p>The company, which is appealing against the ruling, said the changes are being rolled out over the next few weeks to both new and existing Android phones in Europe.</p>
<p>Android users who open the Google Play store after the update will be given the option to install up to five search apps and five browsers, Mr Gennai said.</p>
<p>Apps will be included based on their popularity and shown in random order. Users who choose a search app will also be asked if they want to change the default search engine in the phone’s Chrome browser.</p>
<p>Android is the most widely used mobile operating system, beating even Apple’s iOS.</p>
