A monopoly is when government gives someone the ability to legally ban
competitors.
It's not difficult to go to http://www.opera.com/download/ and get the
opera browser. If consumers choose not to do this I don't see a role
for government.
The makers of opera are also free to write their own operating system,
include opera in it and sell it to PC makers.

In the absence of dominating monopoly, sure.
