I can’t understand why you’re splitting hairs to this extent. The web is protocols; some are implemented at server side whereas others are implemented at browser side. They’re all still protocols with a big dollop of marketing.

That statement was accurate enough if you’re willing to read actively and provide people with the most minimal benefit of the doubt.



My response is in a chain discussing browsers in response to someone who literally said “The web wasn’t the browser it was the protocols.”

I responded essentially “it was indeed also the browser”, which it seems you agree with so I don’t know what you’re even trying to argue about.

Indeed


My point is, you could write your own server and your own browser to participate in the web, but you have to follow the protocols.
