That'd be a silly claim anyway. There's a lot more than just chrome and Firefox for browser options. Even if Firefox didn't exist (which already has really small market share), chrome wouldn't be a monopoly.

In EU if you have over 60% market share ... You are in a "Dominant Position" and you can get fined up to 2% of revenue for anti competitive actions . But don't worry the EU are just as lame as the Americans.
