Does the PS5 have a hidden web browser?

-

I recently picked up a PS5, my first console since the PS3, and I was surprised to learn it doesn’t come with a built-in browser. I assume this is to prevent any potential hacking risks through the internet. Comparing it to the Xbox Series, which includes Microsoft Edge, I find it beneficial to use a browser for cloud gaming like GeForce NOW. I’m curious if there’s any chance Sony might add a browser feature to the PS5 in the future or if I should just give up on this idea.

I don’t think we’re going to see a dedicated browser on the PS5 anytime soon. Sony seems pretty set on keeping it secure, but who knows? They could surprise us!

Yeah, I feel you there. Personally, I’m using a hidden browser feature now. I have it pinned to the side while I watch YouTube and play games like WingSpan. It’s not that visible because they want to minimize the risk of malicious links, which makes sense. But it’s funny that they can’t just implement a whitelist system like we’ve had for ages!
