Unfortunately, the web is pretty much captured by google/apple at this point. I don't think it'll be long before gecko and spidermonkey die. When that happens, we are looking at a web that is basically over-fitted for webkit and v8. Which, unfortunately, is exactly what lead us to the bad old days of internet explorer (Ironically now just a webkit skin).
