I used to worry about these sorts of questions much more. At this point I'm fairly convinced it's already past saving. The current state of browsers is pretty scary. Combining the text-web and the app-web into one client has caused serious issues.
But it doesn't have to be a bad thing. I think the browser will continue its slow death, and eventually be replaced by something new, or maybe a suite of new things tailored to different tasks, rather than a single monolithic application. We've learned a ton from the web, and that knowledge will inform what comes next.
These days I'm much more concerned about the health of the internet (ie what's happening with QUIC, net neutrality, fiber rollout, ipv6, NAT, etc).
The internet will far outlive the web.
