It will not run in 16Mb. It's a headless Firefox with an extension to render the DOM to text.

From the docs:

"When the CLI starts, it looks for a compatible browser (currently only Firefox) and starts it in headless mode...."

For sure, I'm imagining running the headless Firefox on a different machine and porting the light CLI/tty browser to the small device.

That's actually the point of browsh -- you can ssh from anywhere to a (different) machine running the headless Firefox. The machine ssh'ing in doesn't need much except a terminal.
