IMO this is why the constant pushing of the browser as a platform is more trouble than it's worth. Everything that your OS does now will be re-invented (badly, several times) in one or more of the different web-browsers, lost, found, queried in triplicate, standardised before finally being recycled as firelighter when the next "paradigm shift" takes over.
