DC Edit | End to Google-Android monopoly?

Wealth creation initially began to hedge against bad times. In one of such actions, the US department of justice plans to force Alphabet, the holding company of search giant Google and mobile operating system Android, to sell its popular web browser Chrome. It also plans to order Alphabet to sell the Android software that runs most smartphones or stop making Google services mandatory for running Android software. In 1911, the US government broke Standard Oil, an oil monopoly in the US which produced its first billionaire John Davison Rockefeller Sr, into 36 new entities. Though Microsoft escaped the split, it stopped making Internet Explorer the default web browser in the Windows operating system.
