    Please Microsoft don't remove anymore funtionality from the Edge browser on Xbox Series X|S


    I was so excited to buy the Xbox Series X because it had a real web browser and I was hoping that it would be just like the PC browser since the console has 16 logical processors and 16GB of RAM. I know that the downloading feature has been removed, but I just want to be able to watch the videos on websites that don't have an app and even if it does have one, with this Edge browser you should have the option to just use that to watch things online.

    The Web browser has quicker navigation than the apps and more features like being able to like certain episodes. Like the Crunchyroll app doesn't let you like episodes you've watch and navigation is always faster on the Web browser. Please don't cripple the browser and keep stripping away normal features, like not letting certain websites run on the browser that can on PC. This was the main reason I picked the Xbox over the PlayStation. It is like the time that the PlayStation 2 had a DVD player and no other console did at the time of its release. This is a big deal to be able to go to any site without having to depend on an app. Please let the browser at least play videos on every site that the PC version can.

    :)

    You have to address the webmaster

    How a website reacts.to user agents is on the website web.master

    You can actually ask which user agent (not the browser ( they support which is usually found near the bottom.of the.page

    Be it a mobile browser desktop or samsung.or.sony

    Maybe they'll tell you to use their mobile site to use the mobile user agent

    Fyi

    [table][tr]User agentOSHardware Type[/tr][tr][td]Mozilla/5.0 (PlayStation 4 1.70) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko)[/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]
    Webkit is ancient and no longer supported even by apple

    As mentioned you need to address the webmaster who can advise you what to access

    Be it a mobile site or which user agent you need

    Websites aren't designed for.consoles

    But the way mobile and consoles get around that is user agents

    Which can pull up the right site for the browser

    You are forgetting your videos still need codecs

    If theyhave difficulty with a console browser it will have difficulty on a mobile browser

    Edge is not a desktop browser

    It is sandboxed and locked down three console supports downloads

    However steam deck does only in desktop mode

    You have to address it with the webmaster for Compatibility because I can go to many hltml5 phimbook sites and not have issues keep in mind they have mobile sites

    You might want to ask them about that accessing the mobile site rather then desktop

    There are dedicated html5 websites for consoles and mobiles ones that even play games

    Those functions have been disabled. Like I've said this is a stripped down version, but it is the same as the PC. I cannot do any of those things, the devs have to because they are the ones that make sure the browser runs a certain way. The devs have to fix these problems.

    It's not because or any update

    The ps4 user agent flags it as a mobile user not a desktop

    That's the only recent.change

    The browser is discontinued Mozilla uses Firefox.not webkit now gecko is the old old Netscape engine

    Every website treats things differently that's why IE cant run.modern stuff

    That is what me and sword is advising you

    Ask the website what user agents they support

    And to set the user agent accordingly you can always goto their mobile site which would.default to mobile user agent if they don't have one ask which would.be the best for.mobile

    The above thread is about user agents and web compatibility

    Xbox is a secure environment, the web browser is meant to facilitate product information, it is not meant as a full featured web browser. It has many features blocked off for security reasons, and that is unlikely to change if you want a full featured web browser, use your phone, etc.

    As you have noted, Peacock and YouTube , both have apps, that is how their developers prefer you to use their services on this platform. If you have issues with their performance in the Xbox browser, you should complain to the services you’re trying to access, as they are the only ones who can potentially update to accommodate you
