Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to request an integrated browser panel within Warp Terminal, similar to how the Tools Panel or AI Chat works.

Concept:

• Warp provides only the container/frame (window controls, seamless scaling)
• The browser runs as a separate embedded process (WebView/CEF)
• Accessible via a button in the sidebar (like the existing Tools panel)
• Can be toggled, resized, or docked alongside terminal sessions

Use Case:
As developers, we constantly switch between terminal and browser to:

• Read documentation, watch videos...
• Search Stack Overflow / GitHub issues
• View API references
• Check localhost/dev server previews

Having a browser panel directly in Warp would eliminate constant Alt+Tab switching and create a more focused workflow.

Technical Approach:
This could be implemented using:

• Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)
• WebKitWebView (GTK) or Qt WebEngine
• Similar to how VS Code implements its Simple Browser extension

Why this fits Warp's vision:
Warp already integrates AI, file editing, and other tools directly into the terminal experience. A browser panel would be a natural extension of the "all-in-one development environment" philosophy.

Is there a workaround?

Currently using split-screen with external browser or terminal-based browsers (w3m, lynx), but these are not ideal solutions.

I totally agree with this! (But I user Mac, do it for all OS please)
It would tackle this huge problem in AI development: https://youtu.be/YVq28OTPCKw?si=tFf9G3oWTJUGWxD5

cmux has this - it's not perfect, but it's really nice for some things. I'd love to see it arrive in Warp (that and side tabs).
