These are all currently independent plugins or applications that operate partly regardless of the browser they target. In particular I get to choose the best options for each of them (in particular search, filtering and security being independent from each other seems like a core requirement to me). The most telling part to me is how extensions come and go, and we move on from one to the other. The same kind of rollover won't be an option with everything in Apple's AI for instance. This could come down the divide between the Unix philosophy of a constellation of specialized tools working together or a huge monolith responsible for everything. I don't see the latter as a viable approach at scale.
