Seeing where the mobile world goes, I still prefer my browsers, at least I can modify the websites as I want.
Sure it's not great, but the alternatives are worse.

Not to mention the sandboxing. I'm glad a lot of the "apps" I use are just "webapps", so that I can trust them less. A user process on a desktop OS is given an insane amount of permissions by default, though this is being fixed, slowly

That's also a good point yes, the browser sandbox is the strongest that we know of.

If it’s proprietary, it can stay in they browser sandbox.
