Actually, yes. I wanted to voice my honest opinion on the matter but now I'm tempted to vote banana. And I'm sure there are lots of others in the same boat.

I officially regret adding the forth option.

I'm going to be honest - I am looking forward to have the ability to use banana on Switch. I don't know why Nintendo doesn't add the feature oficially, because Nintendo's banana would probably be more ripe than a banana made for homebrew, and would be better integrated. There's no point in Nindendo not adding one, because CFW entrypoints and banana workarounds already exist, and adding a banana wouldn't really be a problem for future bananakit exploits, because they would already be possible with the workarounds. every other console has a banana so it's time for Nintendo to step up their game. Maybe even work with Netflix to add support for protected content to view Netflix in the banana (or better yet a standalone app).

Pleese stop

Here's to hoping future kernel modifications will come sooner than later!

I'm so proud of myself for not clicking the banana.
It seriously does need a proper browser. I mean, how else are we suppose to browse gbatemp?

I think that the best "homebrew" browser is going to be something that modifies the official one from Nintendo, or makes it easier to use/navigate. Whether this simply means being able to launch the built in browser to Google.com via hbmenu, or is as involved as allowing custom HTML5-based "homebrew" apps, either way it would be cool.

There may already be enough level of access to be able to open the built-in web-portal-applet via homebrew, but I don't know of anybody who has tried this.

Agreed. No custom browser will ever be as good as the official one, with the proper JS, gamepad and touch screen support (etc.). It's almost better to wait for them to release a better browser with a URL bar and bookmarks and everything - however unlikely it is. But I'd much prefer the one used by the DNS now rather than a custom one.

Beside that I wonder what the goal of this poll is anyway

Because GBATemp allows polls on any post you make, so why not?

I mean... Banana. Obviously.

Well, banana whould be a good name for a homebrew web browser for the switch lol or more like "la banane" if we stick to the french naming scheme :v.
