Petition to Nintendo: Expose the Switch's hidden web browser

[VGMoose]

Around two years ago, we created the following petition to Nintendo: https://www.change.org/p/nintendo-nintendo-expose-the-fully-functional-internet-browser-built-into-the-switch

Since then, there have been more than 13,000 signatures from DNS users that would like to have the Switch's Internet Browser be easily to access in a standalone app.

At 15,000 signatures it becomes one of the top signed petitions on Change.org! Click here to check it out.

You can also read this status updated posted around a year ago.

ah
ok
so we vote Bernie Sanders
wait that is Bernie Sanders,right

We got to 15k signatures!... And change.org accordingly updated the goal:

I knew they'd give us another goal (really, the goal is "always" just "more" signatures...) but it still just says "becomes one of the top signed", which I guess will never stop being false.

Thanks anyway everyone! I may post an update to the petition within the week. I'm hoping to get to the point where other sites start covering the petition to increase the public pressure on Nintendo to add a real browser.

I should also note that the browser is powered by NetFront, which is maintained by Access Co Ltd. Maybe it's worth sending some love / attention their way as well.

I don't know what kind of deal they have with Nintendo, but it seems straightforward enough to imagine that there's potential revenue they're missing out on by not being a fully fledged browser app.
