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.
