>>I opened w3m, only to discover that it displays images now.

I distinctly remember Links displaying images back in 2011.

Now that I think of it, at the same time I was also reading pdfs and watching movies on the framebuffer... probably. I had a bit of a situation with my hardware, so I had to spend three months in runlevel 3 on Fedora... 12, I think?

Och, aye, there's even visual evidence of such:

I still don't know what exactly happened back then but I watched the entire ST:TNG in the terminal. X11 wouldn't start, so that's gotta be the framebuffer, right?



w3m has had image support since at least 2001.
