In some cases, that is true, but not all, and I suggest not even most. In many cases, I think people are just as liable for being unwilling to use Whonix.

https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh can be pretty decent, too. It's a shame that it's not common practice to provide resource gleanings in the form of such access to random others from one's VPS. Easily reproduced NixOS tool in VM with locked down containers proxying through a local tor would scale up alright and significantly limit risks for the donor. I find very few people take up the offer to even use another's VPS though.

Using Carbonyl of Browsh in emacs?
I use EWW as a browser in emacs but sometimes I need a browser that is more GUI oriented. I stumbled on two such browsers that can be used in a terminal: Carbonyl and Browsh

Forking Chrome to Render in a Terminal
Sixels are pixels and enjoy a wide support due to how old it is.
Kitty protocol is PNG or primitives - which BTW would make it great for a GUI library.
Different tools for different needs, but if you are going for a wide support you want something simple that doesn't have 5 different types you have to separately implement and test:
> d: Direct (the data is transmitted within the escape code itself)
> f: A simple file (regular files only, not named pipes or similar)
> t: A temporary file, the terminal emulator will delete the file after reading the pixel data. For security reasons the terminal emulator should only delete the file if it is in a known temporary directory, such as /tmp, /dev/shm, TMPDIR env var if present and any platform specific temporary directories and the file has the string tty-graphics-protocol in its full file path.
> s: A shared memory object, which on POSIX systems is a POSIX shared memory object and on Windows is a Named shared memory object. The terminal emulator must read the data from the memory object and then unlink and close it on POSIX and just close it on Windows.
> What nonsense, it takes literally 15 lines of code without using anything beyond the standard library to write a client
Conveniently taking a preencoded PNG and assuming away the necessary queries of supported protocol:
> Since a client has no a-priori knowledge of whether it shares a filesystem/shared memory with the terminal emulator, it can send an id with the control data, using the i key (which can be an arbitrary positive integer up to 4294967295, it must not be zero).
