I need to view the data in a BigTable table, but I can't find a data browser in the web console. (Dynamo has a nice browser in the AWS web console.) Is there a data browser for BigTable, or am I limited to the cbt command line?

There is currently no data browser in the web console, so you're correct that you're limited to the cbt command line. One option that can help making viewing your data easier is to query Bigtable through BigQuery. This can be great for one off ways you want to look at your data, but you should be careful with using it on any production data since some of the queries can easily do full table scans which impact performance.

One way to browser bigtable data via a UI would be to use a VSCode extension. I built one sometime ago since I needed the same. You can check this out if it solves your need.
