So, this has been asked, but I still can't tell: Does this have a "normal" browser (like Firefox or Chrome) which can access any website? How about the 6700?

This player has its own proprietary browser. I can not call it a "normal" browser... itb is far to be a good browser but it works. To obtain the best performance of it, I suggest you to use a wireless keyboard, otherwise you will be spending hours trying to navigate the web picking letters from the on-screen keyboard.

A browser would put me over the top as well since my htpc is currently used to access international tv and news websites for my expat wife. seems i will need two things until one compnay can give me everything, streaming media from net storage, web browser for media and basic email(i.e. hotmail), streaming media from hulu(at least), strong support from the manuf or community to add apps and new functionality.

Not in the slightest. If you choose to access the web from it, it will load the simplest web pages very very slowly. I love mine, but it's definitely as basic as they come.

Yes, in my opinion the YouTube functionality is worthless. None of my subscriptions show up on the N460, and even when the playlists show "X videos", when you try to play them it says "no videos". If all you can do is type in searches with the remote control (painful) or look at the featured videos, why bother. I wanted the machine to unwind at the end of the day and watch content, not fight with another computer with a remote control for a keyboard. At least it does save the searches, but the results are not the same as you would get with a web browser. I read somewhere that content on youtube is tagged somehow that the N460 filters it out, what a crock. If I can watch it on my computer, why not this device?

Not sure if you mean if you can access the internet? Yes you can. It comes with a generic browser which works just fine and you can download others like chrome, safari, or opera from the google play store.

No there is not a working browser! I'm hoping for a future update with a new app from Vizio... You can't navigate to any web pages unless taken there by way of the pre-installed apps. This was an oversight on my part as that is something I expected but didn't ask the question. Otherwise, this TV is nice for a bedroom with no issues to date.

Works just fine with IE and Chrome. I don't use Firefox so I can't answer that one.

Find a friend with a laptop. The Chrome books I've seen do not have an Ethernet port.

I normally run Firefox, but it is running on Internet Explorer 6 right now. There is a menu that comes up and gives options of using Firefox, Safari, FireFox, Google. According to the manufacturer, Internet Explorer is preferred. Good luck getting it to connect wireless. I just now succeeded, its taken days of dinking around.

Yes, absolutely. The chromebook can access any website, including those that stream video.

I've had no problem using IE and Mozilla Firefox; I assume Chrome would be fine also.

It's an Android™ tablet with the Google play store. So yes. The standard browser is extremely slow so I recommend downloading "Dolphin" browser. That is amazingly fast

Catch 22 on a built in browser unfortunitly...when built in it is a stripped down version of some other browser (most likely chrome), and then it goes through the manufacturers hub, vs straight through to your ISP, this of course gives horrible bandwidth and streaming issues for sites streaming through a browswer...after going back and forth with the manufacturer on this they just told me flat out...for internet (browser use) connect a laptop or computer and basically use the set as a large monitor...ugh, but I have to tell you if you want to use a browser through their hubs...that is even worse, I just repurposed an old beater laptop for use when using internet. Good luck.

No, unfortunately this model has less features then the higher priced models and there is no web browser app standard with the system. When I purchased the unit, I went to the app screen and tried to find one for download, but there were none available.

You really can't download or install anything on a chromebook. You only will have a chrome web browser to do anything with.
