The browser is the OS that wraps the user not the machine. Just as Linux or Windows or Android wrap the machine and manage its resources, the browser should wrap the user and manage their resources (data, time/focus etc). In this regard nobody has succeeded. The browser isn’t finished until it achieves this
The browser is an application that renders webpages. It doesn't need any mystical vague purpose. Further, the OS doesn't wrap the machine, that's not even a good analogy. When you wrap something you've protected it or hidden it, or even ended it.
I don't need a browser to manage my time or focus. I need it to render websites efficiently so I can interact with them.
