I think it's more like Google harassing you to install Chrome when using any Google property, or, even worse, getting it packaged into every installer under the sun, so if you forgot to uncheck the "install Google Chrome" box while installing a new version of Java, congratulations, you now have Google Chrome.

I'm not defending this behavior, but unfortunately the norm has been set.

Yes, I agree that it is exactly like that: completely unacceptable, and it should be grounds for antitrust action.
