I'm finishing a browser based application platform where the applications installed expose a RPC api, so in the end all applications can call others in the same local(or remote) node/s.
The beauty of this is that you also can compose with other nodes and for a distributed service by calling the local service as a proxy and routing the requests to the other nodes of the same api.
It took more time than i've predicted because its also expected to deliver UI and most of the 'HTML5' api to native applications (instead of Javascript), which is a massive platform by now (and the #1 reason why newcomers to browser technology cant compete, giving the feature creep tax imposed to them).
The idea is also to distribute over a DHT so you can just serve your application over torrent without needing to register anything..
The only way to get there is by empowering users and developers and taking some of the control from the cloud platform giants.
In my point of view the only way to break the browser monopoly now is to create a new path forward, a branch.. its not the time to follow the rules, its time to break them or else the future doesn't look so bright in my opinion..
