ASCII is, but this isn't text-based. It's Firefox Quantum based, and then it probably downsamples graphics to represent them as ASCII while also scraping text.
It's very much just a text-based frontend, not a text-based browser, for a regular browser.
In hindsight this might not _literally_ use ASCII art, but hopefully the point gets across.

Sure, but I genuinely see the value prop for brow.sh. It's strictly heavier than Firefox assuming it offloads the JS execution and at least some of the rendering to headless Firefox.
RE: your use case, why not just set up transparent HTTP proxies that enforce whitelists on those hosts? That's a much less cumbersome solution.
