Can we hack the switch using the browser

Depending on your firmware and model you might need a modchip or not.
Short answer: No, there's no such a thing (at the moment?) except for the units that are on firmware 4.1.0 or lower. Those units can use either Nereba (firmware 1.0.0 only) or Caffeine exploit. Seeing that you made this thread, you should probably know that by now?

Yes you can. Just use the browser to find a modchip and then install it
What GitHub post? As explained earlier, the only browser hack for the Switch works up to firmware 4.1
Cooleli912 is his name but it us called softhax on his page he is working on a way to hack right now he does not have much content on the page
No one is working on it because it is wishful thinking. Not trying to be rude but we need to make sure people understand the odds of a system owning software exploit for the Switch any time soon are extremally low short of a leaked/stolen Nintendo signing key.
This is wishful thinking. They are just beginning to explore browser hacks which are known to be a dead end. They need to look at the work SciresM has done with the Switch. Everything has already been laid bare. That’s how we know this approach, or any of the old hacks for that matter, won’t work. The actual code has been reviewed. There is no guessing as to how it works. It simply has such a small footprint that there are no workable entry points.
"I know for sure that this is possible because the Wii U is very similar to the Switch."
WiiU that has no OS, only something that resembles it, is similar to Switch that has full fledged OS? Good joke.
Switch in terms of FW is only similar to 3DS because Switch OS is an evolution of 3DS OS.
I wouldn't believe this guy comes up with anything that is worth waiting.

Yay, my Android is now jailbroken xD
They didn't even upload source code of web page.
I did that as well on my iPhone 14 and was like “Where’s Cydia then?”
Someone get this kid in touch with the Fuze4Switch exploit German dude. I bet they can come up with something.

What are you wagering? What is the timeline? What constitutes "something"?
the switch has a few entry points, but that's all they are, entry points. The actual kernel is very well secured and is basically bug-less. Nintendo made so few entry points and a kernel small enough to secure it well, and they did.
This is the equivalent of printing hello world which is the bare bones of a workable exploit. If anything, this just gives Nintendo another hole to close to prevent future hacks.

@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it! -

TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
