Uhm... Suddenly reading you saying this confuses me immensely! We
are talking about VNC sharing a *single* screen. So isn't it the
exact *same browser* on the exact *same screen*? Changing it on one
screen will change it on the other too since there is only one browser
window being changed, right? What did I miss?

Sometimes what people do is to script the setting of some resources.
$ xrdb -sym | grep -e DWIDTH -e DHEIGHT
-DWIDTH=3200
-DHEIGHT=1200
... I have two 1600x1200 monitors side by side. ...
Then something like this can be done.
if [ X$(xrdb -sym | awk -F= '/DWIDTH/{print$NF}') = X3200 ]; then
xrdb -load .Xresources.big
else
xrdb -load .Xresources.small
fi
And endless variations too.
