That’s a pretty strong statement without any evidence to back it up. It sounds like the kind of statement I hear often from people who spend all of their time in the web-dev echo chambers. Lots of us install software and don’t spend much time in browsers beyond browsing the web and the handful of Electron apps that we have no choice but to use.

But it’s not hyperbole to say the browser has become the dominant software delivery platform outside of mobile. Email, CRMs, CMSs, electronic dictionaries, word processors, online chat, filing tax returns are just a few examples of things that used to require installing native apps and now are largely browser-based.
