@alexbrooklyn Because it's the standard command in the CLI to know what's in there (at your current working directory). When you've ssh'ed unto some server and lost track of what you where doing, it'll quickly help you to orientate.
Also if you'd hacked into something it'll probably be one of the first command to look around. -
@phorkyas So write an extension that interprets ls as looking up the robots.txt an prevents the unload event. I've no idea why you'd want that but that would be a feasible solution.

@alexbrooklyn @Godisalie so you kinda answered my question: yes, I'm alone with this one.
You gotta take into account tho that my Linux bash is just my comfort zone - so my brain half a sleep typing 'ls' into the addressbar is kinda natural. (but textual interface is probably not well suited for the web anyway) -
Hazarth94845yUsing the terminal changes you. From time to time I accidentally try to close GUI chat windows like Slack and Discord by writting "exit" and pressing enter

webbrowser should know 'ls' command. - would be great for the web to support it.
Or am I the only one, who sleepy, coffeine-deprivated, swapped out of multitasking, not knowing where he is, goes for default command to orientate oneself: *ls* - even in a browser addressbar?
