Web surfing and navigation

greenlgt___ · Mar 1, 2021

Ever since buying my Xboxes S and X, I have problems navigating and searching for anything. When I first bought these devices this problem happened only on occasion, but now the glaring problem is getting worse. More and more host sites are blocking me from windows shopping or using resources. For examples are: zillow and some automobile dealerships require Microsoft Edge 8.0+, Google Chrome or MonZilla to use their sites or you get blocked out. There are many more examples to long to list here. I think someone from Microsoft, the 5G or cable service providers could be intentionally blocking us from seeing all this information for window shopping. I'm still waiting almost 5 years for a Google Chrome App to be available so I can update Google to window shop effectively on my Xbox. I use Google because it works for me way better than Bing. I'm a witness to all this and more. Its more than I can stand. Anyone else putting up with this nonsense? Has anyone found a solution yet?

I don't think you realize the issue.

Console browsers aren't full browsers

They are the same as mobile browsers. And fyi xbox uses edges there are limits to what you can do in a mobile browser

Shopping or flash ain't one of them since flash is discontinued since a lot of sites haven't been updated to html 5 you are stuck

You would need html5 compliant sites which few e-commerce sites are

And hate to burst your bubble but edge is chromium based with a higher percentage of compatibility and faster render speeds then chrome

However you are dealing with a console browser which is limited since a lot of commerce sites uses flash for ads

Basically console browsers even if chrome was added would be limited which won't happen since its a Google product andgoogle have no interest in supporting a competitor since they have stradia

I totally disagree with your answer but thanks for trying.

Fyi websites tend to use browser agents for mobile browsers as they arent the same as the full sites but would have flashless version

Since consoles are rarely used for heavy browsing its doubtful they would really support them

Basically you would have to find the mobile site of the said pages

Typically starting with m.

Theory of Game

A keyboard can be used to navigate the dashboard and input text. Useful for messaging or surfing the web on Edge. I've never tried a mouse, but I would think the use would be limited. Neither can be used to control games.

Would you please take a look at this tutorial to see if you correctly configured Internet Explorer on your Xbox 360?

Try to uninstall it and install again. If it still doesn't work and you're sure your Xbox 360 E has a stable internet connection, please try a Power Reset:

1. If you have an external HD, please unplug it and let it unplugged for testing purposes.

2. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off.

3. Unplug all the cables (power, HDMI, etc..) and wait 5 minutes.

4. After 5 minutes, plug all the cables in again (except for the external HD) and then turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console.

If the issue still persists, please let me know more details about it. What happens when you try to surf the web? Do you get any error message? If so, would you please share a screenshot of it?
