Neither, its using webkit.
wow really? do you know who is the dev behind it?

323 is actually pretty freakin solid for a browser.
I can't do anything on that side in the PS3 browser, no test no nothing
maybe that's why they don't have data
considering the missing features are just what Nintendo is looking out for security and legal reasons yeah pretty damn good start. I'll be all over that thing.

It's also my understanding that the Wii U browser uses the system's "background resources", so that means just the ARM chip, 1GB OS/shared RAM, 512MB flash, etc.
There's an ARM chip in Wii U?
It used to be up there. Was the second shittiest, only better than the vita browser. I'll try testing when I get home.
What do you mean the missing features are what Nintendo is looking out for security and legal reasons?
My PS3 slim:
Knowing 70% of people use their tablet only at home, mostly to browse the web, the GamePad will quickly find a place beyond gaming. Moreso knowing it's also a TV remote, with TVii features, video chat features, etc.
The GamePad being very close to an iPad mini as far as browsing is concerned raises Wii U's value significantly.
The lack of multitouch makes it a bit shitty for browsing though.
My PS3 slim:
how many updates have this browser gone through so far?
That reminds me. I've never tried to browse the net on any of my current consoles/handhelds. The only exception was a very brief attempt on PSP before I got a smartphone.
I doubt I'll ever feel the need to use them
Me neither, however if the Wii U turns out speedy enough in minimizing a game and switching to the browser, I could sort of see myself using it a lot; especially if it really performs as well as the test implies.
Also, how could html5test.com have gotten hold of Wii U data? Someone in Nintendo HQ intentionally submitted a test result? I know unreleased Apple devices sometimes get caught on the web, but I thought Nintendo was more secretive.
After so many post with the same question, there is still no one who wants to answer. What the hell is that Vita beta and how did they get a hold of it?

What are they basing this off? Vita and 3DS browsers are equally awful and PS3s is even worse than those.
Internal testers may have tested it on the site, so that's how it would have been added to their database.
To be clear, this implies obvious HTML5 support already in right? It's not some impossible dream or something but I'm eagerly awaiting such an update for Vita sine I use it a lot for browsing.
wii u browser not supporting mp3, how bad things will be because of this?
Not many browsers support mp3s natively. That's done via extensions. If Nintendo included mp3 support, they'd have to pay a royalty with each system sold with the controller possibly being considered a separate system.wii u browser not supporting mp3, how bad things will be because of this?

Hell of a jump for Vita with the beta.
Not sure if posted elsewhere. Info on Wii U browser. Essentially NetFront Browser NX v2.1.
Quite a technical rundown actually.
I don't use a browser to play mp3's and I imagine most people don't either.
Darn, I so wanted to see WebGL in there.. : )Web Standard

The record is currently held by Dolphin on Android (with the Jetpack add-on), which has a score of 480 out of 500.
The missing features from the lists on the test site where "NO" is listed seem to line up with Open Platform uses like a PC would benefit from. A closed platform like WiiU may not need them and would need to consider piracy as to what features are active in a browser. I don't see many "NOs" but that is the only thing limiting the score.
I know Miiverse will be browser/web based on other platforms, I wonder if this this the reason this is so close to being fully featured
Hm, will the Wii U browser display in a 720p or 1080p resolution?
