Internet Browser is a web browser developed for the Wii U by Access Co., Ltd. and Nintendo. The browser is based on NetFront NX v2.1, which uses the WebKit layout engine, similar to desktop web browsers such as Google Chrome and Apple Safari.[1]
Features[edit]
The browser is able to be used without closing another application or game that is in use.[2] The browser is primarily controlled with the Wii U Gamepad's touchscreen but can be controlled with the analog stick or the D-pad to cycle through links on the page.
The browser itself supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and HTML5 elements.[1] but does not support Flash, video, and music files. However, it can play HTML5 video and audio in websites such as YouTube.[1] The user can choose to hide the browser's view on the TV screen for privacy.[3] However, file uploads are not supported.
The user can choose between the Google search engine and Yahoo search engine. There is a text wrap option to automatically wrap text to the width of the screen at different zoom levels. Users can also create bookmarks, with each user having its own set of personal bookmarks. The browser also supports up to 6 tabs simultaneously.[4] Up to 32 pages can be stored into the browser's history before the older items start being replaced.
