How did the user manage to install Chrome on Windows if Chrome is a monopoly, the only serviceable browser around? They copy the source code from a magazine or something? Get a floppy disk in the mail?
Ok, so enlighten me which standard of monopoly they're so obviously breaking?
> The threshold is not 100% market share.
I never once said so
I'm not arguing it requires 100% marketshare. I'm just pointing out there are tons of workable competitors out there, in fact one has to use a functional and fully featured competitors product to go and install Chrome on most platforms out there.
How can one claim Chrome is a monoply when there are tons of competitors out there which work just fine, and for most users their computers came with the competitors products?
Please, do enlighten me, how is Chrome a monopoly?
Breaking?
They're being a monopoly by having a huge market share. A majority of browers are directly branded chrome, and the chrome team has strong codebase control over most of the alternatives too. Especially on desktop. It's that simple.

The existence of competition doesn't change whether something is a monopoly. It only disproves 100%, which is why I mentioned 100%.
The choices of users don't change whether something is a monopoly.
