I hope it's full of hacks that leads to emulation. I then might get one.
Imagine being able to dump a copy of every Pokemon game on this.
Aren't there already Windows/Android devices that let you do this? Just buy one of those instead of a Switch?

Webkit isnt some unknown thing though. Safari (Apple) is built upon Webkit for example. All previous console browsers is also built upon Webkit as far as i know.Yeah. Nintendo are using a webbrowser from some unknown company.
It's obvious it'd be crap.
Google, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft expend quite a lot of effort into security of their web browsers.
I'm not defending them or attacking them either.
I'm just saying that, despite a web browser being a common vector for attacks on any device, we don't have evidence that that was the reason why a web browser app wasn't available at launch - seeing how barebones the whole launch is/was. Especially as a web browser is implemented anyway for captivity portals which hackers would get easily access to.
Imo things just point to Nintendo wanting to have a very feature-basic Switch at launch, whether by choice or due to time constraints.

when did the most up to date webkit version release?Amateur hour. Thankfully, the solution is trivial: use an up to date version of WebKit (that you should have used in the first place you absolute morons).
Yeah, lots of kids like piracy - as an adult with a good job, I'd rather pay for VC releases and ensure the system has a healthy marketplace.
Thats interesting. I wonder what the other console browsers are being identified as.Switch browser actually identifies as Safari, if you post images on Twitter the email you get for new login says the it was made with Safari.
With how cheap Switch dev kits reportedly are, if you're just looking for a Switch unit to run your own code on the official route may end up being simpler.
Not speculated, known. There's FreeBSD license info somewhere in the system menus.
Bad news for splatoonFantastic news for emulation.
Quick Google suggests that this particular issue was fixed in August of last year. Absolutely no excuse to not use a more recent build of WebKit.when did the most up to date webkit version release?
Hopefully they don't crack native games support.Bad news for splatoon

My thoughts exactly 😢Bad news for splatoon

Forgetting that you'll never get most of the Pokemon games on VC anyway.Yeah, lots of kids like piracy - as an adult with a good job, I'd rather pay for VC releases and ensure the system has a healthy marketplace.
Understand. I agree that the day one patch for Switch should have included the latest Webkit version.Yes. And Chrome used to be based on WebKit before they forked it.
But my point is more that this company is likely packaging up an old version of webkit that is vulnerable to old bugs.
It looks like Netfront is the company:

Well for non updated switch it makes some senseQuick Google suggests that this particular issue was fixed in August of last year. Absolutely no excuse to not use a more recent build of WebKit.
Oh please. People have been paying for VC for years and the marketplace is still garbage.Yeah, lots of kids like piracy - as an adult with a good job, I'd rather pay for VC releases and ensure the system has a healthy marketplace.
Citation needed.
I guess they also didn't make Netflix or Youtube available because of those nasty hackers. What about the virtual console?
Doesn't the Switch run Safari? When I logged into my Nintendo Account on launch day, I got an email that said I had logged in from a Safari browser.

Nah, 3DS cartridges also had an unique header that was required for and shared when doing online play. Not sure about pre-3DS thoughThird parties are probably changing their minds on their future switch portfolio as we speak.
Don't forget though.... every game has a unique ID bound to the cart. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this represents the first time something like this has happened. I think online play might be safe from hackers...

Wake me up when any portable android device or Windows machine is as sleek and perfectly engineered as the Switch.Aren't there already Windows/Android devices that let you do this? Just buy one of those instead of a Switch?

Nintendo should really take a minute or two to go over the OWASP top ten. They wouldn't have this issue if they had. Not that it can't be fixed.
Switch works on some android fork?
I mean, dock notwithstanding? The tablet and form factor is amazing. I'd kill for something as good to play PC games with it but Nvidia gave up on the Shield portable it seems.lmao
Surprised no one made this thread yesterday.
I don't feel bad at all. Maybe this will make them push new updates out quicker?
