In other words; you can put anything that you like into a browser without anyone complaining. So why not put the whole world in it or the whole universe?

Overview
What is the browser now? Is it just an application which you start to entertain yourself, or to do office work, or to watch multimedia, or to start researching for information? If so, then why is it just called a ‘browser’ (from dictionary.com: “a software program that allows the user to find and read encoded documents in a form suitable for display”). Some believe that a browser is more than that. One of those is Microsoft. They believe that the browser can do more than just browsing. That is the reason why they weaved Internet Explorer into their Operating System ‘Windows’. For doing that they have been sued by several other companies, mainly from the European Union. They where even forced to separate Internet Explorer from the Windows Operating System. The funny thing is that when you turn the story around everything seems to be legal. In other words; you can put anything that you like into a browser without anyone complaining. So why not put the whole world in it or the whole universe? All right lets just first start with putting an Operating System in it before digging into rocket science.
This scenario will describe the future of the browser being the Operating System for computers in 2019. This technology shift will divert offline desktop processing opportunities to the online internet environment.
