Web browsers are an operating system these days. Having more dependence on them is like having more dependence on Linux/Windows/OSX. It's a pipedream to think they will remain consistent and/or shrink in use case.
Like it or not, this is here to stay. What we should fight against, imo, is not browsers as an idea - but the lack of diversity. We're in a reality where we all but only two/three browsers - it would be as if we only had Windows and OSX. The answer wouldn't be to get rid of Windows or OSX, but rather create a rich ecosystem of complementing operating systems - ala Linux.

It's been happening again and again, the only way not to lose is not to play the game. Thus, relying less on the browser is a good thing.
