Are you projecting? The point is to be able to use the modern web in all of its spectacular complexity, from within a text-based terminal. Which goal it actually achieves!

It's neat yes. But prevents it being used on a headless server without graphics installed. That's primarily where I'd use a text browser... need to download a package/archive but also need to search for it first.

If I have firefox installed, I'd just use it!

This can, however, be run entirely inside of Docker - something I’ve done numerous times on a remote sever. This even allows for the web interface to be used, though that kind of defeats the purpose.
