I need to launch Chromium (or alternatively Firefox) on a raspberry PI 4 8 GB running Raspberry OS 2021-05-07 without launching xorg / xserver. Is that feasible, for example by launching it in framebuffer mode?

Thank you all.

I think https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/22757/how-to-run-an-app-in-a-framebuffer/22759 answers this well.

Framebuffer is a lot more basic than X protocol support, so the application has to be specially written to support it.

You'll need to use one of the browsers that has such a specialist port, not a general web-browser like Chromium or Firefox.
