Nintendo Switch does not have a normal Internet Browser for user usage. However, there is multiple browser applets. It is the NetFront NX browser, which is based on Webkit.
When linking the Nintendo Account with Facebook, the Facebook Auth website will open, offering a search box that can be used to browse the Internet ("LoginApplet"). Alternatively, it can be accessed with custom DNS settings which simulate a Wi-Fi login page ("WifiWebAuthApplet" for captive-portal).

Browser Applets
| appletname (From UA) | Usage | Invalid TLS cert handling | Uses whitelist | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WifiWebAuthApplet | Captive-portal | Displays an error dialog with an option to ignore it. | No | |
| LoginApplet | Nintendo Account linking | Just displays an error-code. | Yes | |
| ShopN | Actual eShop client | Just displays an error-code. | ||

When whitelisting is enabled, you can only load page domains included in the whitelist, otherwise an error is displayed. Videos via the <video> tag are not affected.
Video Playback
WifiWebAuthApplet does not fully support playing videos. It will crash with normal videos. However, in some cases with certain MP4s using vulns it will display an error dialog instead.
Trusted RootCAs
While the rootCA(s) for Let's Encrypt isn't included, Let's Encrypt is indirectly trusted via "Digital Signature Trust Co.".
