IANAL but would not that be grounds for abuse of dominant position? Using their dominance in web search to undercut competing browser vendors?

  Chrome accounts for ~70% of browser use. It is a majority, but it's not total dominance. For reference, IE accounted for ~96% of browser use when that whole antitrust case was happening.

    Ah, but the point was about using "their dominance in web search to undercut competing browser vendors". In this case, ~90% of web searches go through Google[0]. So they are using the fact that they are the number one web search engine to convince users to switch to Google Chrome.

    @ccmcarey: “Chrome accounts for ~70% of browser use” That would be Microsoft Chrome :]
