Modern browsers use an extremely wide range of system APIs: process/IPC/sandboxing, memory, networking/connectivity (e.g. bluetooth), filesystem, GPU, audio, windowing system, device IO (keyboards, webcam), and more I'm sure.

I can't think of any other kind of software that come close. If you can run a modern browser it means that your OS is already quite mature.
