    Tampering with default browsers and inserting labels to hijack traffic ruled unfair competition

    360 Secure Browser and 360 Safeguard, in the name of 'security,' tampered with or blocked users from setting the default browser and inserted labels into Baidu search results to divert traffic; the court found this constituted unfair competition: in Baidu's lawsuit against 360 over 'label insertion,' the final judgment awarded 400,000 yuan, and in Sogou's lawsuit against 360 over the default browser, 1 million yuan was awarded.
