The TLDR is that Webb can see much further across the universe (and thus much further back in time) and at higher higher resolution than Hubble, and Webb’s primarily Infrared sensors can see through nebulae, space dust and other obstructions better. There are numerous videos on the differences, but here are some I found pretty good:
1. Scientific American comparing how far back in time Webb can see vs Hubble: https://youtu.be/nBDHqquK_8k&t=2m8s https://youtu.be/nBDHqquK_8k&t=2m8s
2. NASA scientist reviewing Webb’s Carina Nebula image, explaining what Webb is unveiling for the first time, and comparing to the same image from Hubble: https://youtu.be/3y6iWi95ypc&t=2m17s https://youtu.be/3y6iWi95ypc&t=2m17s
3. Good overview of Webb and its differences from Hubble: https://youtu.be/JzDWpvtDJ9g https://youtu.be/JzDWpvtDJ9g
