Tutorial

Using the browser without updating
Ok guys, so I bought myself a ps4 slim on black friday just to jump onto the scene!
I was tampering here and there with the system and I found a way around the PSN connection to use the browser. I have tested it with a ps4 slim in 4.01, baremetal. I don't know if this is old news, but I though you guys might like to have it written here.
Steps:
1. Deactivate Automatic Downloads and automatic installs in: Settings > System > Automatic Downloads
2. Connect to internet Wifi or LAN it doesn't matter
3. Go Settings > Network > View Status of Playstation Network services
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the G+ logo
5. In G+ page click the top search bar. You should reach G+ home.
6.I n G+ home page Press OPTION and refresh the page
7. in the top right should have appeared a google apps menu icon (9 dots), click it and click web search
8. You can now search whatever you want!
9. Disable again internet connection once you're done to avoid any furtive update downloads.
Youtube works as webpage this way. I was able to fully navigate through GBATemp.
I don't even have a PSN account yet. Useful? Time will say.
