Brow6el is a new terminal-based web browser that uses Sixel graphics to render full-featured web pages directly in the terminal. Built on the Chromium Embedded Framework, it supports modern web standards (HTML5/CSS/JavaScript), mouse input, bookmarks, download management, private browsing, ad blocking, and Vim-like keyboard navigation. The project positions itself as an alternative to mainstream browsers increasingly bloated with AI features that pose privacy and security risks. Currently proof-of-concept quality with known limitations like localized keyboard support issues.
