Knight Plug Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Even a £20 Android TV box is way better. Seriously. Every page freezes like crazy. It's a bore. 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It is pretty terrible, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Nobody buys a console as a device to browse the web on anyway, but if the bother to include a web browser, it's worth putting a little more effort into it that what they have.

Darth Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It was awful but it's the last thing I'm going to use on the PS4 so as Shagger mentions, it's not a deal-breaker for me. I have to say, whilst it wasn't great, it did make putting up some sports streams on the TV quite easy. That was until I got the Chromecast anyway.

Crazycrab Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I actually use the web browsers on my PS4 and XBox One quite often, for certain TV and sports streams or even this forum sometimes. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 They have to put more work on the web browser of any console. If they Included it and it is a total mess when a gamer is accessing it, then what's the need of bringing the additional features up? I think they should put more work on it to make everything look classy and worth every penny spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareFarm Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Console web browsers are pretty useless. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 I'm happy with my Android TV box, other than the fact it has recently been randomly resetting. But they are very cheap, so meh. I can live for that... for now. There's so much you can add on it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 I guess it's just something that they want to be on the platform since a few people might find it useful to quickly search something. I think it's also slightly necessary for consoles because there are sometimes sites that they want you to check out for help and information. It's better to allow users to access that directly from the console rather than telling them to visit it on another device. So not exactly a feature they expect a lot of users to use all the time but still a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
