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.
