Xbox one web browser is really bad

TheRedViper92 · Mar 24, 2018

I would like to know what is being done to make the internet edge explorer better on the Xbox one. In its current state, and this is being respectful, it is straight up garbage. Is there anything in the works to improve it? An ad blocker that actually blocks
ads would be nice, as the current one literally, and I mean literally, does nothing to stop pop up ads. It honestly feels like Microsoft doesn't care. They want to push their browser so hard on every platform because they're getting outdone by Chrome and Firefox
and yet it's still useless. I get stuck on loading screens, can't go back a page, and I can't repeat this enough, the pop up ads are simply awful. I don't know if this is the right place and I'm sure no one that can do anything about this will see it but I
just need to vent. I mean wtf Microsoft get it together.

Xbox One Web Browser

1. Yes 2. HTML5 only 3. it either work like IE10 or the upcoming IE11. it depends when IE11 comes out for non beta tester on WIN8. And which of two MS decides go with XB1.

flash is a known resource hog that is riddled with security issues. I doubt flash will be supported, but I do think the browser will be html5 which is eventually going help muscle out flash anyway. In fact, google is demanding Microsoft to build an HTML5
youtube ap. They have it written into their sik requirements. What is odd is they aren't forcing any other platform to use HTML5 also,

Hi

There will be a completely new version of Microsoft Edge, coming in the Spring Update.

It is currently in testing with the Insider Preview rings.

Honestly on the Xbox One you should be able to choose from Firefox or Chrome. IE is really bad and the next generation consoles should have better Web browsers for everyone to use.

It should be able to multi task with real ease, since it has an AMD 8 core Jaguar APU even though it's processor is only clocked at 1.75Ghz. And the console has 3 operating systems including a kernel and hypervisor.

.

I don't think it will support flash. This is mainly due to security reasons. Since the console has x86 architecture which PC's run on this, M doesn't want viruses Trojans or malware on it. PC's it's wise to have additional Internet Security software which
can detect malicious activity which would probably go unnoticed by a Microsoft/Windows operating system. I use AVG on my PC. This is why Xbox One's operating system should also be strict and secure, so that we can enjoy and have fun free from any threats.

.

Maybe be able to change the colour of the IE window?

It ran Redtube videos though for god sake! ... but for some reason it didn't run anything else!!! That was what I thought was weird. And its not just porn... I feel like the majority of webpages nowadays have flash based content. The XB1 should definitely
have it. ..... Oh, I never owned a PS3 but I heard that it had a web browser... can anyone tell me how that worked in regards to the 360's.??
