I remember Opera (the original browser company) trying to address that with their Opera Unite feature…but it never gained enough traction even among Opera users, and that was small enough a group to begin with, and they dropped it even before they switched to WebKit and sold the company.
Opera Watch reports that Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera and Google declared the Browser Wars to be over at a panel at Web 2.0 Expo yesterday. “Instead of trying to trump one another by adding features in point releases, the companies that developed these browsers are instead intent on advancing their use as platforms for a new generation of rich Internet applications and for tackling the hurdles that will come along with that shift in strategy.” ComputerWorld and eWeek have more details. Apple, the remaining major browser manufacturer, was not represented at the panel.
