W3m displays images in XTerm and other terminal emulators, so that
might be what you want for a browser. I'm not sure if there's a
list of terminal emulators that support image display from it.
This page mentions that some require changes to the configuration:

 I think W3M seems to put another window layer atop the terminal to
display images.  It works, but my main use case for W3M is as man page
viewer W3MMAN (aliased to man), so I don't care much for it's image
capabilities.
 Elinks has a `./configure` option to enable Sixels, which I did, and I
see the generated binary being linked to `libsixel`, found the run-time
option to enable Sixel graphics, but I never see any images displayed.

Thank you for mentioning it. I will have a look!

I tried elinks with frogfind.com and I discovered that the best way to kind of replicate buffers are to start elinks with all the sites I have on my reading list (elinks $(cat links.txt)). In the links.txt I have prefixed all my sites with frogfind.com.
I then discovered that they all entered the global history file, and in that file I can search among the sites.
So all sites are opened in invisible tabs, and I can search for them in either the globalhistory, or I can make sure they are all saved as bookmarks, and drop the tabs altogether.
Frogfind makes it fairly palatable!
