Currently, a message from Earth to Mars takes between 4 and 24 minutes. A message to Proxima Centauri takes over four years. You cannot "browse" the Martian web, let alone the Alpha Centaurian web, with a 4-year round-trip time (RTT).
For the rest of us? It is the invisible infrastructure that will allow your great-great-grandchildren on TRAPPIST-1e to stream cat videos from Old Earth without buffering. interstellar proxy
