Interesting reading arguing against web3 - 'Web3 is Bullshit' - I have to say, I tend to agree. Also, there are plenty of other projects and ideas around for 'decentralising the web' and owning your data - one notable one being 'Solid' from Sir. Tim Berners-Lee who probably knows a thing or three about the web 😛
Blockchain technology is ridiculously wasteful of resources, and in most cases is still a solution looking for a problem. This handy diagram should help out in most cases...
Web3 theoretically protects user privacy better, because it’s devoid of authorities and intermediaries that are doing most of the data collection. Of course, this is all an idealized vision of Web3 sketched out by blockchain developers and boosters for the future, so it might not be so true and accurate in practice.
WebRTC allows most of what most people describe when they talk about "web3". Obviously we have a long way to go with the IPv6 rollout and the removal of NAT before we can have a real P2P net, but that's what has to happen.
IPFS (which is used a bunch in the nft space) is an example of the kind of technology we can build, improve and leverage to make this new less centralised world.
It doesn't seem entirely unlikely that cryptocurrencies will have a role in all this, but it feels very far from certain too, and NFTs... ergh.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Don't even get me started on the metaverse...
There's also Beaker browser:
Blockchain is just another technology aimed at making a quick buck with no regard for the consequences.
