You are confusing the Internet with the web. You do not "browse" the Internet. Browser suites are for using the Internet, and the Netscape Suite provided numerous tools to use various protocols on the Internet. One of those happened to be a browser for browsing the web.

I say this to make it clear that the "now" in your comment ignores past and present browsers across all platforms.

FTP wasn't the web and browsers did that right in the main browser window using the primary addressing interface. RSS wasn't the web and web browsers rendered RSS in the main window and using the main addressing interface as well. Email isn't the web but Gmail is and browsers can seamlessly hand off several non-web formats to web clients where needed. Your distinction is real but also meaningless. If a user can do it in a browser, it's a part of the web. If a user cannot do it in a browser and requires a dedicated client, then it's not a part of the web.

You know damn well that people often use "internet" and "web" interchangeably.

I know, but it's important in this context.

"Browsers are for browsing internet. So many of them are now turning into bloatware."

This person is implying internet as only the web, when the reality is, suites would access more than just the web. To suggest they are "for browsing [web]" only is 100% wrong, and history shows them.

So, normally your comment would be appropriate, but it ignores context and the discussion at hand. Context is important, and you shouldn't ignore it.
