(Reuters) -Alphabet shares closed more than 9% higher on Wednesday after a U.S. judge ruled against breaking up the Google parent, clearing a major regulatory overhang and adding about $210 billion to the company's market value.
The ruling on Tuesday by Judge Amit Mehta allows Google to retain control of its Chrome browser and Android mobile operating system, while barring certain exclusive contracts with device makers and browser developers.
