Indeed it isn't. A Web browser also displays plain text, standalone 
Jpegs, PNGs, and GIFs -- and other types (such as Flash or Java) with 
plug-ins, whether they're inside an HTML page or not.

Conversely, a dedicated HTML viewer wouldn't need features for things 
like reloading, cookies, or HTTP authentication that a Web browser 
needs to deal with.
