Sure. You are free to modify your browser.

But chrome is free to choose not to distribute that plugin. If you want you can download it elsewhere.

Yes that is how the law views it. That’s not necessarily a good thing. I agree that I should have rights because I’m a person. As the crazy radical I am, I don’t agree that companies ”are free to X”, because they shouldn’t have freedoms, only entitlements that can be regulated to serve the purpose of the citizens.
