∙ 6y agoThe correct idiom is "surfing the web". The internet and the web are different technologies. The internet refers to a global network of Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and their support services such as Domain Name Servers (DNS). The internet essentially encapsulates all the internet protocols, including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, NTP and so on. The web, on the other hand, is an abbreviation of world wide web and refers only those internet domains which deliver content to you using the HTTP or HTTPS protocols, also known as web servers. "Surfing the web" is therefore an idiom for browsing the content of those web servers. Typically we use an Internet Browser (technically known as a user agent) to surf the web.
