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.
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.
Ladybird browser may be easier to build a TUI terminal user interface for than other brothers because of Lagom FWIU (LibWeb and LibJs are already decoupled from the UI and rendering)

But it's fine in the default Sixel?

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

I don't think any of these text-based web browsers are actively maintained;
"Show HN: Browsh – A modern, text-based browser" (2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17487552
browsh-org/browsh: A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh

chawan: TUI Web Browser https://sr.ht/~bptato/chawan/

I can't speak for the other projects you listed, but at least chawan is actively maintained by yours truly.
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?
Codeberg recently changed policy to not allow primarily AI-authored projects.
Oh, I see. Well I won’t be installing this then.
If you were interested, check out Browsh. It's a similar project but based on Firefox and it's been around for quite some time now.
OK?

Very illuminating.
