> I will admit that Operating Systems are winner take all monopolies and as any other such monopoly should be regulated.

Not sure I follow, could you explain how this is the case when the OS market has been much more competitive than the browser market for many years?

It's easier to build a browser than to build a OS.

OS: Mac, Windows, Linux

Browsers: Netscape, internet explorer, safari, opera, firefox, chrome, brave, samsung explorer, whatever smart tvs use, whatever the wii or the playstation used, etc...

High cost of entry is a core property of monopolies.

Most of those browsers are Chrome based or no longer being actively developed. Your only browser options are Chromium, Firefox and WebKit (Safari).
