Since its launch in 2017, the Switch has been lacking one particular feature that is available on pretty much every other modern device these days: A simple web browser. Shortly after it's release, it was discovered that such a browser did in fact exist in the Switch's firmware, but could only be access by changing your DNS, which can be rather annoying and bothersome to do...until now, that is! GoldLeaf, the multipurpose homebrew software has been updated to version 0.3, and one of the changes listed is the use of the Switch's web browser, without having to DNS swap in your Switch settings!

You can checkout the full changelog of this latest update in the official GoldLeaf thread in the Switch Emulation, Homebrew & Software Projects section, as well as find links to download the latest version to give the new web browser feature a try!

I don't get why so many people don't see the use of a browser on switch...often I dont have any other device in reach to google something when I'm stuck in a game, this is so helpful. Thank you so much Xortroll

You can get an online capable Smartphone that doesn't suck for 80 bucks or less if it is used and most people nowadays has Smartphones.

And the Switch using a web browser does it makes it more risky to use.

It might make it easier to install updates to Homebrew and so on but that's it.

I like the browser feature,
Is it possible to add the URL command line parameter for the .nro?
I want to create the custom nro forwarder to launch the URL directly on the home menu.

Is it safe to use the Browser? Will I get banned?
