It's like a more generalized browsh[1].

I think one significant difference though is that Browsh renders actual text for text content, so you can copy and paste, etc.

You will be able to copy/paste with term.everything once I implement the Wayland copy/paste interface (wl_data_device_manager).

OMG! That'd be AMAZING. But it still wouldn't render GUI text as terminal font text right?

That’s right, it will still be pixelfied text. We could run ocr on the images then convert to text, but that’s an entirely new can of worms. Make a feature request issue on GitHub if you’re interested,
