Curious as to the requirement that can't be met by the installed wget utility?

wget doesn't format html or provide hyperlinks

What problem are you trying to resolve with a web browser in venus os?

What would be the purpose? Maybe it can be resolved without a browser.

Almost always, using some other piece of hardware to run a browser would be preferable.

I just wanted to access the UI of my router when I was logged in. No big problem though, I can just use a socks5 proxy with ssh instead.
