#12I 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.

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)

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

I can't speak for the other projects you listed, but at least chawan is actively maintained by yours truly.
Cloudflare Browser Isolation runs part of the browser in the cloud, which might work for TUIs ..
Research open source solutions for self-hosting remote browser isolation;
Like these browser isolation Chrome extensions: https://www.legba.app/blog/best-browser-isolation-extensions...
And these:

Cloudflare Browser Rendering REST API https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-rendering/rest-api... says 10/min day free (which is probably enough for an open source project that needs to run screenshots at various resolutions on a few builds per day)
But then there's this, which currently only execs partial js:

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.

Man, talk about anti-social. What a bad faith question. It feels like you've already made up your mind on this. Were you actually looking for an answer, or just looking for an argument?
