What's the superpower of the web?

The web is a fabric of computing that is on nearly every device beefy enough to run it.

It is open, so it works mostly the same everywhere it shows up.

And no one entity has unilateral power to define what the web can do.

Unless there were a computing device used by more than a billion users where the manufacturer disallowed other browser rendering engines, but that would be crazy, society would never stand for that.

But the real super power of the web is links.

Links teleport you, safely, to a totally new experience in an instant, carting along your cookie jar of state.

One of the key invariants in the security model is "tapping a link should never be dangerous"

This means that instead of each site being an island that has to be viable on its own, experiences are tied into a massive web of interrelated experiences.

The whole is significantly larger than the sum of its parts.

Apps are, in contrast, a collection of tiny monoliths that can't be composed or easily navigated between.

Each app needs to stand on its own as an individually viable experience.

If AI is the internet, the web hasn't been invented yet.

What will the AI-native web be?
