Writing Programs with Ncurses
I had always wanted to write something in this and got my chance last year when I finally decided to write a utility for Safari tab management:

Since then, however, I’ve switched to the Min browser. But it was super empowering to make a console-based interface and I’m looking forward to trying it again soon.

TabFS: Mount the Browser Tabs as a Filesystem
I’m excited to dig into this a bit and possibly add Safari support. I recently built a script (https://github.com/incanus/fari) for Curses-based (terminal) navigation of Safari tabs with hopes of adding management functionality in the future.

Web Environment Integrity API
I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.
