How to Get a Web Browser on Nintendo Switch

Last updated
Ever wondered if you can surf the internet on your Nintendo Switch? You’re not alone! Let’s dive into if and how you can get a web browser on your Nintendo Switch.
Can your trusty Nintendo Switch double as a gateway to the internet? We’ve got the scoop for you.
Short Answer: With a Little Creativity, Yes!
By default, the Nintendo Switch doesn’t come with a built-in web browser accessible for general surfing. But, with a bit of ingenuity, you can indeed access a hidden web browser on the device.
To access the concealed web browser, you need to use the Switch’s ‘User Page’ or ‘News Page’ to find a link that takes you to a login page, often found in WiFi settings or social media linking pages. Once you’ve reached a login page, you can navigate to other websites from there. However, remember this browser is quite basic and lacks the features of mainstream browsers.
