I'm increasingly baffled by ppl who draw a distinction between "the web" & "the browser". Most interesting properties are abt the browser.

totally disagree. The web is the Internet + hyperlinks between content. A lot of my usage is Twitter and Apple News—no browser.

the hyperlinks need a general-purpose protocol for display. `twitter://` doesn't work on Android so it doesn't qualify.

URL + "global protocol for what to do with a URL" is the web. The browser is the general version of that protocol.

the browser isn’t a general-purpose “protocol” for how to handle URLs, though, because as you say it can’t handle twitter:// etc.

thus the web is larger than browsers—and I believe will continue to move further away from browsers

I just don't understand the point of that definition. It's abstract and doesn't encapsulate enough.
Loading seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
