I love tab completion.

I hate that the terminal and the browser are two different applications.

shivers thank god they are two different applications.

And i'd prefer the two very different functions remain separate programs, i don't need my terminal client to be vulnerable for browser issues (or vice versa).

I'm curious, why would you want that? What is the benefit of having these two applications with separate concerns becoming one?

While amazing in their own right, those aren’t examples of a web browser and terminal becoming one application. Those are more like the interface of one being used to manipulate the other.

I think something like hyper will get us close: https://hyper.is
