Think of a school textbook with footnotes and references. The “web” was an attempt to present the same type of information on a computer screen. The goal was to make it easy to follow the references from one document to another. That is ALL the original browser did. Later, pictures, sounds, etc. we’re added. Then someone decided it was all a bit too static, too much like a book, and they added scripting to allow the display to be more dynamic. Then everything got out of control and we have the mess that is the modern browser.
