As we move programs we use into the browser, window managers become less important. But we also lose some functionality offered by window managers. Maybe the "next browser" will be so intrinsically attached into your OS window manager there will be virtually not difference between an installed application and a website, their windows will behave the same way.

Slack.app may be an example of how browsers will work in the future.
