I disagree. I think this "browser war" (or rather, healthy competition) is the best thing that has happened to the web in a long time. The more quality players competing, the better. As long as they use open standards, it can't hurt the web, and if on top of that their code is open source, there should be lots of cross-pollination that further speeds things up. It might be tempting to think that consolidating to one main platform would make things better - and maybe they would be at first - but in the long-term, without real competition, the rendering engine and javascript engines would almost certainly improve more slowly than they otherwise would.
