Now that the Wii Browser is available, I’m really thinking I should check it out. It’s based on Opera. In my mind they needed to have a few things in order for this to not suck:
- Fairly good HTML/XHTML support – Opera has that
- Good support for CSS – Opera has that as well, but available for all small-screen versions
- JavaScript Enabled – Opera has pretty good JS support, but not always available for small devices.
- Support for Macromedia Flash – Especially with the popularity of YouTube, it’s needed
Apparently it meets these requirements. I really need to check this out. As a web developer, seeing something like this after years of crummy non-PC based browsers could be impressive. Screenshots so far have not disappointed.
