So it's connecting to the internet, just in a limited capacity.

'Connecting to the Internet' does not equal 'Browser'. Think email, usenet, FTP, Skype, etc.
(Or, dating myself, Archie, Gopher....)
A browser, conversely (or is it inversely) does not need to connect to the Internet at all. Web Browsers are often used only on local nets or even to read HTML help files and docs on a local machine. Their defining feature is rendering and navigating arbitrary HTML documents.
