Ways to Browse the Internet on Various Devices
-
Added the Peloton exercise bike-- got to try out setting up BrowseDNS on one recently, and it has a special captive portal browser just for connecting to wifi hotspots. You can use this to browse the internet on the bike's screen without using a computer to modify and install external apps.

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: Jan 16, 2024
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, GoldleafThe 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 MethodGiven 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!
Peloton
Bike - BrowseDNS (UK)
Similarly to other Android-based devices, BrowseDNS UK will pop up the captive browser. It allows basic browsing, but video playback doesn't seem to work.
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 StoreHaving multiple browser choices on TV and watches is cool!
Microsoft
Xbox 360 - Internet Explorer
Xbox One - Microsoft Edge
Xbox Series - Microsoft EdgeGoogle, and Microsoft both make and advertise their browsers, so maybe it's not surprising that most of their devices have them easily accessible.

For fire stick/fire TV
Open the downloader
There should be a thing that says "browser" in the downloader
Go to the browser menu
Type in a link
yayyyyyy -
@eepy-kirbo There isnt, there isnt even a webview on roku lol

Also, for PS5, any kind of in-game link could work to access browser, i used the "paladins patch note" page to acsess youtube, then google via link. Some game browsers will have links blocked though, i seen as newer games like overwatch its not possible to get onto google

On PS5 you can do a side by side mode with the browser on the left/right and gameplay on the other side. This can almost be used comfortably for like strategy or trophy guides, but in practice it's really confusing to switch between and control the two views.

If your on ur phone and you don’t want people to see your history (if your history is undeleteable on iPhone) download Pinterest and search YouTube. Click YouTube’s profile and then YouTube’s website and it will take you to a YouTube that is NOT on your browser but a browser that is only on Pinterest. None of your history will show up on your original browser
