"Normies" don't use PCs anymore. Whatever apps the phone vendor preinstalled, Web or other, is the internet.

You’re probably too young to remember that in an old version of windows, Internet Explorer’s desktop icon was labeled “The Internet”. Nowadays, people think Google is “the internet”. My boomer dad says he “has Gemini”… bruh, you’re just searching shit on Google.
