This kind of thing has stopped being true a long time ago.

For all intents and purposes, web browsers are operating systems running web applications, taking care of security, etc.

And all these Chromium-derived browsers are skins and utilities on top of Google's browser/OS.

It's still true and always will be. Blink is not a browser any more than the Linux kernel is a standalone operating system by itself with no attached software or applications.
