Browser competition doesn't matter much for interoperability, because they don't restrict what sites you can use. It's only a risk if browsers start banning sites like the app stores do.

And open source Chromium and Firefox are bulwark against that, with active fork ecosystems.

What if browsers start banning apps from their own app stores, though?
