    Also, if you extract the whitelist for the Social applet, it's a file called listLnsGlobal.txt with this content (as of 1/06/22, when I did this):

    Lines that start with ---- are overridden to be specifically not allowed, even if they match an earlier rule. Prior to this, you could serve iframes from a sites.google.com domain, and watch YT or other videos like that.

    These values (again for the ShareApplet) can be overridden via AMS by putting a file at: sd:/atmosphere/contents/010000000000080D/romfs/listLnsGlobal.txt

      @Chimech0 This is really interesting, thanks for sharing! Funny how well the News applet fits Plex's layout. Also useful info about which formats of video are supported.

      For Videos:
      For playing videos, the social applet via Google drive works alright: https://browsedns.net/topic/1905/tutorial-watching-videos-on-google-drive if not really tedious. There's no time limit on the social applet, though.

      The social applet has a whitelist of which domains are allowed, and they all require HTTPS and Google Sites is specifically excluded. If it were possible though to serve HTML from one of these domains, an iframe would very likely allow sites outside of the whitelist to render.

      For the timeout
      I have tried messing with the overridden domains (just the ctest url though), and pointing them to various hosts / slowing them down, or blocking some but not all, and it seems to always dismiss after 20 minutes of screen on time.

      Those logs are here: https://browsedns.net/post/3358

      I also think that it has to do with the nintendo URL not being able to be hit, but the issue might be, as soon as it is hit, the applet dismisses itself and displays "successful connection". If it has to do with an HTTPS url though, we're even more out of luck without modding.

      Still, it's worth trying changing an https URL to point to an invalid https cert and seeing what happens. Or on my modded switch I could try the some CA verification bypass. Probably that'w with these exefs_patches ?

      @VGMoose might there be a way to simulate the standby mode of the switch? the timeout only happens if the switch isn't in standby mode, so making the site think the switch is in standby while it's not might work?

        I would love to further understand the conditions around the timeout via reverse engineering, but my skillset isn't really there yet.

        My guess is, standby pausing the timeout is a side effect of the actual foreground app pausing. (So, the loop where it performs the check is not running, as well as no code on the page running either).

            @stamp,

            For more information on how to watch videos please read https://browsedns.net/topic/1905/tutorial.

            Since you're on the switch we do have weblinks, to visit the weblinks page click here. You sould be able to bookmark sites you like to use on the SwitchBru Dashboard. I will provide you more information on that once i am able to.

            If you send me a link of a website you would like to use, i will edit your profile and enter it there if you would like me to. In order to visit your profile just click on your profile picture and tap 'Visit Profile'. You may also click here to visit your profile if you do not understand the first method.

            Anymore questions?

              @stamp specifically, using YouTube to access DNS just means setting the DNS up in settings first, then opening the YouTube app from the eShop which opens the browser. This will also automatically re-launch the browser when the timeout occurs.

              And then bookmarks can be managed like Raven mentioned, or on the https://dns.switchbru.com landing page under "Useful Links"

                                        also you can't even play 3D games (webgl based)

                                        you can play webgl based games on switch but in the browser it says nope you can play this no no

                                        and there's websites that dont even load on the browser

                                          also you cant even put photos in the browser

                                          when you try to put a photo in it says ''file selection not support''

                                          and thats weird even tho you can screenshot in games but cant put it the photos in the browser
