What is pros and cons for 2 browser trick?

I usually apply credit cards at the same days by using two browser method. However, I dont know how browser method works.

For ex: Chase Ink, Chase Freedom, amex SPG, and Citi AAdvantage visa on 10/03/13

Chase InK pulls Experian
Chase Freedom pulls Experian

SPG pulls Experian
Citi advantage pulls Experian and Trans


So on 10/03/13, I will have 2 pulls on Experian with Chase, 1 pull on Experian from SPG, and 1 pull on Experian and 1 pull on Trans from Citibank.

As a result, on 10/03/13, I have 4 pulls on Experian, and 1 pull on Transunion. So I dont see the advantage of 2 browser here. Anyone can explain the pros and cons please!

Thanks!
