No they aren't.

They are using their dominance in search to push chrome on users every chance they get, which has resulted in them dominating the browser space as well. Or do you think Chrome was just good enough to push out IE entirely on merit?

Pretty much the case for older versions of IE. It became the dominant browser even when it was not installed by default.

Microsoft is catching up though.
