Browsers are definitely starting to offer what operating systems do. It is interesting to poke around in the chrome://gpu pages and you see just how aware chrome is of the underlying hardware. It disables features based on hardware, and drivers rather than rely on the underlying system.
Browsers offer a reliable way to use hardware without any configuration. It is easy to forget how difficult something like video playback could be (relying on player software) before sites like Youtube came along.

My OOTB setup of either mpv (on GNU/Linux) or mpc-hc (on Windows) can play any videos better (better caching, better rendering, better hardware acceleration) than any in-browser, Flash or HTML5 offering on either Firefox or Chrome.
