Meant to say:

Of course not.

A Browser is actually a native application to its host operating system 
that provides Web Page browsing. As much as you would like to shoehorn 
everything into a Browser, the fundamental fact is that such quests are 
limited and rife with increasing pain and frustration.

A Browser is one kind of application that can interact with services 
over an HTTP network.

Mobile platforms don't depend solely on Browsers for HTTP interactions. 
Why should desktops?

In my experience, there no such thing as good monoculture.
