A Web Browser Integrated into Bible Software
It is interesting that a competitor to Logos now gives me the ability to view the Logos Web App in their program using a new built-in web browser.

We already allow viewing a website in a panel on the web app. Just type a full URL into the command box: https://www.wikipedia.org.
https://app.logos.com/browser?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikipedia.org%2F
Note: This is an experimental feature and isn't supported. It may not work with all websites.
Copying a URL into the command box doesn't always work. For example I copied in "http://www.ccel.org/" and it opened a new browser tab with no contents. I did not include the quotes in the actual command.

It's an experimental feature and not supported (which is why there's no user interface for it), so it may not work with all websites.
There is now a feedback item to vote on this, albeit I would like it in the desktop app.

Two of my uses of this would be to open bestcommentaries.com or maybe Readwise Reader inside Logos. It opens up all sorts of possibilities to push into context computing with Logos, particularly web apps.
I have a layout that I use for library management which this would be cool with bestcommentaries. Of course, I am doing the usual workaround... but this is definitely a 'nice to have'.
I suspect most would appreciate.
I had a browser in my own Bible software but took it out for security reasons. Unless the company is expert, too many holes. Logos maybe, Accordance? But again, my own concerns these days.
"If myth is ideology in narrative form, then scholarship is myth with footnotes." B. Lincolm 1999.
Since operating systems like macOS, iOS, and Windows already let us use some form of split screen to use apps side-by-side, I'd see this as an unnecessary feature.
Let the OS manufacturer concentrate on browser security. Better that than FL opening up some vulnerabilities in our bible software, as Denise mentioned.
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!
My feelings too.
As a software developer I normally work with 3 27" monitors attached to my MacBook Pro. I can always run browsers on the other monitors or even another Bible software package. Wish there was a way to keep them all in sync.
