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).
> for the kitty graphics protocol. I challenge you to match that for sixel

What color do you use for your terminal?
You don't have multi-colored terminal output? Even legacy systems have long had Sixel support.

Are We Sixel Yet?
> SIXEL is one of image formats for printer and terminal imaging introduced by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC). Its data scheme is represented as a terminal-friendly escape sequence. So if you want to view a SIXEL image file, all you have to do is "cat" it to your terminal
