But since your opinion is the same as mine, it need no longer be considered humble.

If you design an OS whose UI is the browser, that's one thing. But if I have a browser running on top of an OS then it's just another layer to suck CPU cycles. In the same way that I shouldn't have to run OpenOffice in the background if all I want to do is surf the Internet, I shouldn't have to run Firefox (or Chrome) in the background if all I want to do is edit a spreadsheet.
