Ways to Browse the Internet on Various Devices

Here is a list of different unconventional Internet-enabled consoles and devices, and known ways and resources to browse the Internet on them.

Last updated: Feb 17, 2022

Nintendo

Nintendo DS - Nintendo DS & DSi Browser
Nintendo Wii - Internet Channel
Nintendo 3DS - Internet Browser
Nintendo Wii U - Wii U Internet Browser
Nintendo Switch - Switchbru DNS, BrowseDNS, Homebrew: BrowseNX, Goldleaf

The interesting trend for Nintendo is web browsing used to be seen as a pay-for feature, then became an included app, then got hidden.

Sony

PSP - Internet Browser
Vita - Internet Browser
PS3 - Internet Browser
PS4 - Internet Browser
PS5 - Google.com Trick, BrowseDNS, User Guide Method

Given Sony's history of just having normal browsers accessible, a bit upsetting they decided to follow in Nintendo's footsteps in this area.

Apple

Apple Watch - Google.com iCloud Shortcut, Captive Portal Workaround

The Apple Watch has a hidden browser as well, actually using it is a little annoying, but accessing it is very easy. It's very useful if your phone is dead and you have the Cellular model!

Amazon

Kindle - Experimental Web Browser

This browser works great, but due to the eInk display it's not so easy on the eyes. Or maybe it's too easy on the eyes?

Google

Android TV - Download browsers from Play Store
Wear OS - Download browsers from Play Store

Having multiple browser choices on TV and watches is cool!

Microsoft

Xbox 360 - Internet Explorer
Xbox One - Microsoft Edge
Xbox Series - Microsoft Edge

Google, and Microsoft both make and advertise their browsers, so maybe it's not surprising that most of their devices have them easily accessible.

im here on switch, do u guys know an games i can play with this?

[VGMoose]

This topic contains a link to playboxie.com which has a few. You can also try googling around for "HTML5 games". Anything that doesn't require WebGL should work with the Switch's browser, and some even support the controllers.
