Browser Timeout: "This Screen will be closed."
-
@Jared Yeeeeep! That's because BrowseNX can manually use a different applet that doesn't have a timeout, and can enable video playback too. Only the WifiWebAuth Applet (which is what the DNS uses) has those limitations (times out, no video), likely to discourage usage.

wait you can put videos on apptakeover

@Jared now i wanna hack my switch too but im too stupid to do so i probably just get my switch disabled (i have an oled switch)

Edited the original post to include a summary of information about the timeout, tips, the browser, and BrowseNX. This thread has a lot of views so I'm assuming people are coming in here from Google.
I can't really recommend installing homebrew just to access the browser, it's a pretty technical task and needs access to a computer or Android phone anyway to reliably use. It also comes with brick or ban risk. I mean, it's not that bad, but I don't think it's for most users.

@dan yea its pretty cool.

i think i found a work around- if you use the youtube app, and press the x button when close to 20 minutes, it goes back to the main screen ad the timer refreshes. just what i found :p

Youtube the app on switch doesn't pause-

it can pause

@presley OP cannot change the browser timeout. If you're asking how to change the timeout, you can open youtube instead of testing your network connection. If you're talking about the timer on this website, the timer is for security reasons
-
@joemyson OP cannot change the timer, I already said this
-
The 20 minute timer on this website is just for your own information on how long it's been. The actual 20 minutes for the browser to close and kick you out is enforced by the Switch OS.
We started a petition to Nintendo asking them to remove these limitations, although it seems unlikely at this point in the Switch's lifecycle that they'd do this.

has anyone tried ethernet? also i found that airplane mode expanded my time. is this statically correct?

I dont see how that would effect anything, its a built in timer. i know that putting the switch into rest can essentially pause the timer but ill have to try airplane mode
-
i cant watch videos it says that feature is resricted. any help?

@jperez2250 Nintendo has restricted the viewing of videos on the dns browser, i'd assume to discourage people from using it. There's also a 20 minute timer that'll kick you off every time it gets to 0. If you'd like to know some sites that work, check my first topic and another topic titled 'switch discoveries part 2'. I hope it helps :D
