Switch Countdown Timer Added

[VGMoose]

Edit:

As a reminder, it is Nintendo's own decision to make the browser close in 20 minutes. Our only options are to provide information about it, the petition, or contacting Nintendo customer support directly and requesting a fix.

The timer on this page is for your own convenience, to track how long ago the browser session started.

Original post:

When visiting a landing page using the Switch via the DNS, there is now a "Time Left" box in the upper right:

BrowseDNS and Switchbru DNS:

This starts counting down from 20:00 minutes at the start of the session. When it hits 0:00 nothing will actually happen, but very likely you will be kicked out soon by the Browser Timeout.

This timer will keep ticking even if you visit other pages on the Internet and return back to it. If you sleep your console, the timer will become inaccurate and likely show 0:00 earlier than it should.

Added a countdown timer to the Switchbru DNS landing page as well. Since BrowseDNS and Switchbru both have separate timers, if you do visit both pages, one after the other, your timers will not be in sync (the second page will start counting too late).

[Raven]

@Dakoolkid2013 It depends on how slow your Switch is. Faster ones load quicker.

but why?

To repeat: This post is only about the visual countdown timer. The actual 20 minute limit that closes the browser is built into the Switch OS.

We have over 27,000 signatures on the petition to Nintendo to change this. It seems unlikely that they will, but this is our only real course of action.

[_nebula_]

@jake392 because the switch can't handle it. idk why, but it can't

[Bread Traffic]

@_nebula_ It could handle it, I believe they allowed it during early march 2017, its not allowed as they hate switch users, also jailbreak suspicions
