And you spend a day on wikipedia or tvtropes and you've got two hundred

Yes.
I meant as opposed to the usual dozen.
The viewer sends a "go" message back to the fetcher, which kills the
old viewer and loads the new one, and can keep a URL log.
So the fetcher (which presumably also has UI elements such as an address
bar, back/forward button, etc) is the monolithic browser I described.
How exactly is this different from the current model? That the two
components communicate via IPC rather than an in-process API?
