Google believes that the browser market is still largely uncompetitive
I'd be curious to see how you arrive at that conclusion. Internet Explorer's share of the browser market doesn't seem much different than Google's share of the web search market, and yet Google claims that the web search market is competitive. Is that because competitors in the latter space are only "one click away"? downloading a new browser is only one click away too--maybe a handful of clicks, but hardly an onerous process.
Microsoft's past tactics make it an easy punching bag, especially in Europe. But I think Google should be careful not to pursue tactics that smack of hypocrisy, or someday it will have to suffer from the history of its own tactics.
