I believe the rant demonstrates there cannot be more competition for browsers and therefore justifies the idea that browsers will stagnate and come to an end. I think the solution will be to move away from one application doing many things to using separate software dedicated to narrow purposes.

No, obviously that is not the way. I don't want to deal with 20 separate programs to do the job Firefox does.
