Web3 means using UDP as the backbone protocol and with hole-punching it makes P2P interactions possible. Hence the whole decentralisation bit. Tbh ipv6 can also achieve the same goals but at the cost of de-anonymization since it's a unique marker.

Is that really the technology capability that has been added? I'm not sure you can talk about decentralized Web3 without talking about blockchain.

I credit much of Web2 kicking off with AJAX, HTML5, and CSS3. Though many others would say it was lead by mobile.

My general thoughts, it isn't one thing, or just one technology. Even Web1 was a combination of TCP/IP, HTML, HTTP, and Mosaic/Netscape.
