If we want an Emacs-only solution, why not use eww-mode on an HTML file?
It works tolerably well - try: M-x eww ENTER https://domterm.org ENTER
Viola - you're browsing a texinfo manual with rich text and images.

Of course this has some drawbacks compared to info-mode - most obviously the
keybindings. But it seems like it should be easy to create a sub-mode
of eww-mode and then add keybindings that work like info-mode.
We would probably also change link-handling, so that clicking on an
external link defaults to creating a new eww buffer.

We could call it "hinfo" mode, and describe it as "an experimental mode
for browsing HTML documents (especially ones generated from texinfo)
using info-style keybindings and behavior".

We just need a volunteer ...
