      This is a thread to talk about the browser closing on the Nintendo switch when using BrowseDNS or Switchbru DNS... This appears to be a timeout added by Nintendo in FW update 10.0, but the mechanisms of when/why it closes are not known.

      In my experience, I have had both web pages live for a long time (even overnight!) by sleeping the switch or pressing home, and when it decides to close always seems a little random.

      It seems like no matter how many page loads occur, or clicks/scrolls I make, it's determined to shut down. Does anyone have any other experiences or theories about whne it decides to close?

      If the timeout can be better understood, then we may be able to discover a workaround to it. If it's something networking related, for instance, maybe there are changes that can be made to prevent it from closing.

      It would also be interesting to know if this same timeout occurs when using "normal" captive portal airplane/hotel hotspots (which is what the browser applet was made for).

      I will also again plug the petition to Nintendo to unlimited this browser, including removing the timeout.

      Sign the petition! Help us figure out the browser timeout.

        It also seems to do it even in sleep mode. For me I came back after half an hour or so & poof! Gone!

          @VGMoose the timeout from what i can tell seems to close the browser after around 20 minutes so that may or maynot be helpful
