I think that's entirely fair - here's a draft definition:
Browser: 
	An entity that supports multiple usages through dynamically loadable code (javascript) and can render arbitrary user interfaces
using HTML5. (e.g chrome)
Other entities:
	A non-browser entity supports a single dedicated usecase and will lack the ability to dynamically load a user interface or code
to support differing use cases. (e.g. a doorbell)

It's like blank tape vs pre-recorded cassettes (if you are old enough) .
