You could terminal into a remote machine terminal and use a web browser in the tty without needing an X11 windowing support.

  Struggling to see the reasoning behind why you would need to do this if you are remoting into a machine, meaning you have a real machine that you can just open a browser in. Seems more like a solution looking for a problem to me. There's never been a situation in which I wished I had a browser like this in the CLI. There have been situations in which I wish I could just get a simplified text version of any site without the styling, but I never once wished I could see the actual full site in all its glory in the CLI.

    Unless you have x-forwarding (and an X server running locally) or VNC you can't really use a graphical browser remotely yes? This lets you use it from plain SSH connection?

      In what situation do you need to do that is what the previous commenter qas getting at. If you want a graphical browser just open it locally...

        The primary idea was just can it be done. But it then went crazy, being mentioned on big portals such as hackaday, makeuseof, etc… I have also received messages people using this to access internal Grafana stack without need to be on VPN, so people found the reason for its existence by themselves. Also I am big fan of terminal apps, so why not.
