"Yesterday I was scrolling through the Nintendo Switch's settings, just because I was bored. When I opened the formatting option I noticed the suboption 'Clear Cache'. The description states that you can "Delete a user's saved IDs and passwords, cookies, browsing history and other cached website data.". I don't have a screenshot or a picture, but you can just look it up yourself.

Is this a sign that an internet browser will come to the Switch in the not too distant future? Or is this an option that has been there for a long time that I was just unaware of? I'm really wondering because I haven't seen someone comment this on this forum. - Pluto14"

Nintendo Switch’s day one patch has arrived, ushering the return of the dreaded Friend Code system. But Nintendo also promised the patch would include a way to connect to public hotspots, which seemed to run counter to the claim that the Switch won’t have a browser given so many public hotspots require you to log in to a captive portal. So how does Nintendo reconcile this paradox? Simply put, by having a browser that can only be used in very limited situations.

Unfortunately, not every device comes out of the box completely perfect. So why is there no internet browser on the Nintendo Switch? The great news is that there are always people working in the periphery to remedy these sorts of problems. The even better news is that you actually can use a web browser on your Switch and you don't have to do anything as warranty breaking as hacking your switch.

The browser is intended for one basic reason: logging in to public hotspots. So far we’ve tried both Starbucks and Vox Media’s own guest network. Logging into the local Google Starbucks portal brings up the familiar coffee-infused webpage that you’d see if logging in from a phone or laptop. From there, you can navigate the page with the touchscreen. You can access the Nintendo Switch web browser by settings.

I have used this method to get online more than a few times. While it's not totally perfect it is totally effective and I am absolutely grateful to have a workaround to Nintendo's oversight.
