This is what I do, ^E opens a vim buffer with the contents of whatever I’m editing.

Make my changes, save/quit and it appears in my text box in the browser. Obviously doesn’t work on my phone (why would I want it to?) but it’s a super nice workflow (if a bit jarring to have another program/terminal pop open).

I’m using qutebrowser for this, and this mechanism is an officially supported part of the browser.

Qutebrowser is really amazing and I'm using it for lots of my browsing, too. What keeps me from going all in is the lack of something that can match ublock+umatrix. Sadly, the Internet has become a harsh place, where these things are needed.
