Thanks for posting this link. I saw this submission and remembered that Chromium had a terminal rendering mode, but couldn't manage to find this page, since I wasn't searching Ozone specifically.

The fork here goes even further, which is really cool.

The fork here goes incomparably further. Libcaca just produces an ‘ASCII art’ approximation of an image, not capable of handling text. So, while the photo is too small to see it, the text on the terminal is gibberish. The libcaca backend was done as an backend interoperability exercise, and run on a real terminal just for fun.
