Not the OP, but if they mentioned they did it from Termux you can install an X server and a full desktop browser like Firefox either directly or via a chroot/proot "container" via for example proot-distro [0].

There's also an app called userland which seems to spin up some kind of VM. I don't know if android supports KVMs or if it's a real userspace chroot type of deal.

I toyed with it briefly, the performance is about what I expected given the hardware I was using. Which is to say, not a terrible amount of overhead

You can yeah but it's super slow even with my high end phone
