What you describe are simple systems. Most people confuse simplicity and intuitiveness. The Apple Car or the iPhone are intuitive to use but far from simple, because of the abstraction level. I like simple systems, which are maintainable, because they lack high abstractions.

Why not using keyboard controls for web pages in general? I tried multiple solutions for browsing the web and using vim binding to do so over the years. Some of them for extended periods of time, including Tridactyl, Vimium and others. My favorite by far is Qutebrowser because of its default commands and integration of them, for example moving between tabs, editing or copying URLs or configuration is pretty easy.

On iOS you can install browser extensions from firefox and chrome to the Orion browser.

I've found it a few month back in this threat here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34562553, it is working sufficiently so far, seems even a bit faster than safari to me, too.

sshd does this.

sshd 3891262 root 4u IPv4 15450342 0t0 TCP ibpmaas-testing:https->10.10.47.11:49064 (ESTABLISHED)

sshd 3891351 ubuntu 4u IPv4 15450342 0t0 TCP ibpmaas-testing:https->10.10.47.11:49064 (ESTABLISHED)

# lsof -ti ":49064"
