        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.

            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

                    @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

                          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.

                              yeah, they added the timeout around 2019, likely as a result of DNS workarounds to accessing it. It also used to support video for the first few Switch OS releases.

                                  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

                                        @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
