I'm speaking outside of my bailiwick here, but are browsers now the equivalent of Microsoft Windows? Great big, crufty, no-one-really-knows-how-they-work, security risk laden, feature-fat, clumps of software that everyone uses?

Worse in a certain way as part of the problem are "feature-fat, clumps or over-complicated" web standards every new browser would have to implement.
