Somewhat. The external code doesn't necessarily need to CREATE a BookmarkManager, but on the other hand it doesn't need to be forced to go through Browser in order to use it either.
Part of the issue is that "Browser" seems like a bad abstraction in the first place. What is a "browser" anyway? What behavior does it actually have? It's scope of responsibility is much too broad. If one is trying to model the way something like Firefox works, it needs to be broken down a lot more than that. "Browser" just seems like a God object on top of being a Middle Man.
