It was an extreme example to convey a point but now I realize I didn't take it far enough. My original point was that path keeping should be handle by a standalone program for several reasons: web pages aren't the only source of paths I want to keep; my primary browser isn't the only program I want to open paths in; there is often more data I want to associate with a path like a tags, notes, user names/passwords (often more than 1 pair), etc. We already have window managers so tabs are taken care of. URLs are just like file paths... Actually, my file manager looks exactly like my browser, I just don't have an HTML/JavaScript/CSS handler that doesn't also have it's own version of a file manager. The internet is just another file system and we already have file system browsers. You're right about dev tools, that should be separate, probably best to incorporate it into gdb. I think I'm on to something here.
