Tips on the PlayStation 3 web browser

The web browser that Sony implemented in their new next-gen PS3 console was a great idea, as it gives their console more functionality. There are also many concerns of people regarding their safety and the safety of children. It can also be a hassle as it may take a while to load the pages or your PlayStation may freeze from time to time due to use. Below, I have a list of tips that can solve these problems and help you with your navigation.

When you open your browser on the Ps3, the PlayStation home page will load. The triangular button is the key to your navigation, as it contains all your options within the navigation. You can bookmark your favorite sites for more convenient page opening and navigation, just press the home button and type in the site URL and the site you want to visit will be displayed. Press the triangle button and select the bookmarks option, then select my bookmarks and then select add to bookmarks. There is a faster option to bookmark though, once your page opens, hit the select button and your bookmarks will open, then just bookmark it, simple.

You may find that your PS3 freezes from time to time while browsing the web or it is taking a long time to load the sites, this tip can solve that problem. Just click on the triangular button and select the tools option. Once you’ve done that, go down and clear the cookies and clear the cache, this may smooth things out for you.

You may also fear for the safety of your child and the safety of the consoles while browsing the web. Sony has provided you with an Internet security option. You can get a 90-day free trial of this option, and then purchase it if necessary. This security is from Trend micro and it can stop viruses and errors from your console, it can also block access to certain sites that you do not want your children to access. To get your security, just click the triangle button, select browser security, and then select Trend micro for PS3. Then you can get your free 90-day trial. For this, I would recommend reading the terms and conditions and the FAQ to find out if this is right for you.

The PS3 web browser has other great options too, like a history button, so you can go back to previous pages of importance with ease. You can also save certain images directly to your HDD by selecting the triangle button, then selecting the file option, and then clicking the save image option.

I’m sure everyone will agree that the addition of the web browser to the PS3 is great and I hope these tips will help you navigate in the future and make it more enjoyable.
