A lot of linux environments include Lynx.

It's a text-based web browser.

It's possible you already have Lynx installed, and it'd give similar results (but is general purpose for any website)

links or elinks are also available and often render better.

w3m is also available and also pretty good (but doesn't appear to have the lovely colour style system that Lynx has.)

and w3m has w3m-img if you want to get just one step more graphical while still being fundamentally a tui (it does terminal/character cell layout, then uses the WINDOWID to stuff images on the terminal screen. Probably the kind of thing wayland doesn't allow? :-)

(hmm, the neonmodem FAQ mentions it has an image rendering feature too, to come full circle)

w3m also supports image display through the sixel, kitty, and mlterm image protocols; these should also work on wayland with terminal emulators that support them (i.e. almost any terminal except vte or alacritty).
