Exactly, should a web browser need to be a complete operating system, or can it just show you the damn internet? Feeling like a cranky old man here

    A browser—any browser—does have to do most of what an operating system does. Every web page is an app and many of them are as complicated as desktop or mobile apps. Hell, a lot of them are full desktop apps—a lot of "native" desktop apps are just web apps running in a special browser window that lacks the usual browser UI.
