Before web browsers we basically had 2 other renderings: terminal text and email readers. Prior to the WWW, most content you could consume on internet was text only email and text only forums. These formats did allow for attachments, though, so you could get images, audio, and video that way.
Lots of Internet uses still don’t require a browser, such as IPTV
