Given what the web is, it makes me exceedingly sad we don't see the page as a browser of many sites more often. That a page mostly just dials home, to its own server, is radically less than what web architecture could be, is a mere readopting of the past. Efforts like Tim Berners-Lee's Solid seem like a great first step. There's also a variety of Mastodon clients one can run as PWAs, which both is an example but also a bit of a counter-examples: the page can dial anywhere! But then that Fediverse server intermediates & connects you out to the world. RSS readers too; dialing home to connect with the world. Instead we could perhaps have a client that reaches out directly. Then that activity of reading & browsing, keeping track of favorites and what not: that would have to be sent home or otherwise saved.
