    # This example will return both the URL and title for the frontmost tab of the active browser, separated by a newline.
    # Keep in mind that by using `using terms from`, we’re basically requiring that referenced browser to be available on the system
    # (i.e., to use this on "Google Chrome Canary" or "Chromium", "Google Chrome" needs to be installed).
    # This is required to be able to use a variable in `tell application`. If it is undesirable, the accompanying example should be used instead.
