I don't like the name. Can suggest renaming to insane browser because this is actually insane in a good way. :) What happens if you run it in a TTY ? Does it fail to render anything?

Can Brow6el work as expected within a Docker container?

Why were your projects no longer welcomed at Codeberg?

> WARNING: Kitty image support (currently only in main branch builds) by its design nature is barelly usable in SSH when brow6el runs on remote host, this feature is usable when brow6el is executed on localhost. On ssh the responsivenes of browser is significantly affected, due to massive data transfers on each frame rendered But it's fine in the default Sixel?

I just don't understand...what is the use case of this? I thought it would be something that cleverly renders text without style in a minimalist-browser sort of way. But this just literally...shows you the web page...in the CLI? I'm confused.
