Pornhub has an annual analysis with a whole Console section.
I'm very curious to see the data for 2020. With everyone locked up in their homes, these websites usage must've increased by 200%...
Back in the day, my Wii was the only access I had to the internet, and it was secluded in the basement. I had at least 2000 hours on the Wii Internet Browser.
Maybe this is the real reason that Nintendo removed the browser on Switch.

I've never used a browser on a console. That is the only reason why my answer is no because I'm sure I would have.

Dammit, Era. I love you. I was just in that thread! 😆

Honesty, I haven't. Sounds so unintuitive compared to a smart device or pc. But after thinking about it, it's actually smart from a malware standpoint.

...I did, however, use the PSP browser for that like errday. And that thing had NO memory and was SLOOOOW. So I paid my dues, alright?

Edit :
No (but I'm lying)

PSP when it came out :|

What a pain it was use that terrible browser lmao

My brethren! You know the struggle!

No, but Dualsense integration and tempest 3d audio support might draw me into this dark world.

I think my Dreamcast was the first device with internet access in our house that was permanently set up in my room....and I'll just say I took advantage of it.

Nowadays though with phones I'm not really missing it by it not being built in. I did think it was funny my TV has one now (LGCX)

Wait, PS5 doesn't have a web browser? Could've sworn I saw browser settings in a UI video.

before iTouch took off, the PSP was the best way to watch it without getting caught by the parents.

Honestly, the majority of the times I use the PS4 browser is testing browser emulators after firmware updates. I got DOSBox working at one frame per 30 seconds (that's not backwards), but that's about it. Sometimes it's handy for browsing online stores with my wife, but we could probably get better results screen casting from her laptop now. Our main smart TV is a TCL 6 series, so it doesn't have a browser either.

The sad thing is this probably won't do jack for their system security since big third-party games, especially f2p ones, are still probably going to have login pages, so all the hackers have to do is set up a proxy first.

The biggest disappointment with the PS4 browser is Sony refused to support any audio codecs, so it wouldn't work with Google Music or any other music streaming service.

Wait, PS5 doesn't have a web browser? Could've sworn I saw browser settings in a UI video.
I thought I did too, but the faq says there isn't a standalone one. If there are browser settings, it's probably for the one games use for third-party account logins.

I heard a story once about someone hosting a dreamcast porn party...

Dark Kingdom was a good game. Haters gonna hate.

Didn't know PS5 won't have a browser... That's some BS
I've used my PS4 browser a fair amount to watch some live streams, since I don't have cable TV

I've only ever used console browsers twice in my life.

Once to hack my ps3 and the other time on the vita when I was in hospital post surgery to check my emails

mostly i use a tablet because it is convenient for use while in a bed. the tv screen is nice and big but the couch is just not the most conformable place to be.

that said, i do use my ps4 for VR porn. i was actually hoping for a better experience on ps5 where porn could be directly streamed from ps5's web browser instead of this download BS we i have to do know. ..but this dashes my hopes. it's pretty annoying really, everyone knows that gamers are not just kids anymore. we're also adults with adult needs to have a very immersive experience F'ing a pornstar.

When I had my PS3, my computer crashed & the PS3's web browser literally helped me through a tough time. PS4 browser is also very useful. I feel like taking it out is a mistake.

Well, I know the dude who I bought my used low firmware PS4 from was into gambling and lesbian porn, so there's that.
