@TheAndyboi That's really cool! Reminds me of the firebug lite bookmarklet, which used to be one of the only reliable ways to debug mobile websites: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/html/use-firebug-in-any-browser/

@Larryfire85 This is for web developers! For example, I used this the other day for troubleshooting forum issues on Switch, where there's no browser console.

Eruda is a javascript tool that displays a web developer console directly in the website itself. This allows it to be used to debug errors on other devices, such as the Switch, WiiU, 3DS, etc.

To use it, embed it on the page like this:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/eruda"></script>
<script>eruda.init();</script>

And then click the gear icon in the bottom right of the page. This is really useful if investigating errors that only occur on the device, and no web console is available.

@bugsinbread The problem seemed to be related to the latest Switch update (21.0.0) changing how some Javascript methods work.

One of the methods that stopped working: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Number/toLocaleString

It was erroring early and preventing the full page from finishing to load. Probably other websites on the Internet are also affected.

The fix on our end was to avoid these methods and use other methods of calculating times/dates across the forum.

I just mean using a custom DNS to access other websites on the fridge itself. I wouldn't want any fridge ads! I'm also surprised Apple even was okay with it, since that's an ad for their new show.

Apparently new Samsung smart fridges display Internet ads, like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/1ow6cpu/apparently_my_samsung_fridge_has_ads_now/

I'd be very curious if setting up BrowseDNS displays a browser on these fridges! It will depend on the connection test URL that they use, and also whether they have captive browsers in the first place.

Okay, I think I found the root cause of the issues on Switch, and sending/receiving messages should be working again. Can anyone that had issues before try again?

Working on this problem as well as the chat glitchiness. Sorry switch users!

Can anyone that had issues on Switch let me know if it's any better now? It seems to be an issue related to the fading animation that runs in-between page loads.

Sorry, it's fixed now. The certificate expired and had to be renewed. It's supposed to happen automatically, but it didn't due to server config issues.

I'll take a look at this with my Switch to see if it can be improved, I have also heard other users are having similar issues recently.

@eden Are there any specific pages that give you this error more often? This site is supposed to be optimized for low-memory browsers like the Switch's.

To clarify, this forum site can be visited on the regular internet by going to: https://browsedns.net

And conversely the BDNS landing page can also be directly visited at: http://45.55.142.122

Unfortunately there's no specific best size, as it's going to change depending on the width of the device that a user views it with.

This is called "responsive" web design, and often images like banners are made to look good at multiple resolutions to compensate.

For more info on how to test and preview different sizes, Chrome has a mode that allows you to try out some common screen dimensions: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/devtools/device-mode

Here's a list of some web games that are playable on Switch:

Some games that unfortunately don't work well are other Google Doodles (like this Halloween one), and Slither.io (you can them, but they're laggy)

Which links aren't working? I tested them all on Switch 2, but the browser is a bit more powerful than Switch 1's.

The added links are due to new Google changes to stop supporting some browsers. We'll keep updating these as time goes on.

We may revert this change soon, as I also find the categories view to be a little hard to navigate. But in the mean time, you can change your personal settings to default to "Recents", under Settings:
