Yes, and I am more convinced that the market for non-iOS and non-Android mobile devices will grow. Not sure if its going to be GrapheneOS, or Linux — But we can witness the growing trend of privacy-focus — especially after AI being introduced on the OS layer — grabbing recurring screenshots, uploading to clouds, and essentially destroying E2E encryption.
It is becoming very expensive and difficult as the moats these companies have been able to build are enormous.
One upside I see is that phone hardware slowed in innovation and most changes are now software. This allows a new comer to build a phone over 2 years and have specs that are still good enough. This was a huge issue back a few years ago when a "kickstarter" was created and two years later the phone was unusable because of the poor hardware specs.

#23Amazing terminal, it has served me so well over the years. I wouldn’t consider anything else. If you lean in to the advanced features, there’s nothing to touch it. Can’t believe it’s free, but I am very grateful for the fact. Thanks, George!
It is free, but it's also easy to throw money at George, as you've probably already done. The About menu has links for Patreon and Github Sponsors. I've only ever used the former. Given how much of my time is spent in the terminal, and how good it is, it seems like some money well spent to me.

I think you are too hopeful. I doubt the majority cares, will know about it, or even believe it. They will not care until it bites them in the ass and they know why it was.

#25> This feature exists because: - Many iTerm2 features translate well to web browsing - It provides a unified terminal and browser experience - A former colleague suggested this idea in 2014 and I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. - I am maybe having a midlife crisis and this is cheaper than a sports car. I can't put my finger on why, but this might be the most refreshing thing I've seen in a README in year…
I’m convinced that a term/browser can somehow help in the fight against ensh*ttification and general spoiling of the internet experience for certain classes of user.
Edited for typo.
Re: iTerm2 Web Browser
#26Would it make it possible to have light "CLI-like" interfaces which span a browser in the same tab and give a proper UI?
Could be interesting to replace htop or other monitoring tools with graphs

It'll grow, but its share of the market probably won't. People don't care. Anyone who cares enough to do something is a minority of a minority.

Because browsers built in terminals in Linux do support adblocking extensions?
Re: iTerm2 Web Browser
#29> Note for Enterprise Users: Administrators can block the browser plugin by restricting bundle ID com.googlecode.iterm2.iTermBrowserPlugin.
I am genuinely curious what the corporate thread models look like that allow running a terminal but not rendering anything in a browser.
Re: iTerm2 Web Browser
#30Might be an unpopular opinion but... why? And I see there are AI integrations still? I thought that was reverted.
