I recommend you to use web.whatsapp.com then, it's pretty decent now (except that it does not support calls)

That needs whatsapp running on your phone to work as far as I know (because it basically runs the communication on the phone and then syncs that to the browser)

If you can work out how to get on the beta release of web.whatsapp.com then it's no longer required for your phone to be online.

but you still need to feed a QR code to the android's "camera" on each browser you want to use.

Multi-device [1] which is now in beta lets you use WhatsApp on the web without the phone connection.
