This is affecting many PC gamers around the world, such as myself, as the last 3 PlayStation releases on Steam have been blocked in many countries. I wanna know what's your take on this. Please be respectful, and thank you. ๐Ÿ˜Š

They probably removed the web browser because the PS3, and PS4 have both been hacked through it. So instead of fixing the exploits they just said screw it and just removed it.

I agree. Incompetence is not an apology for their mistakes, instead the fact that Sony don't address their security issues make it even worse.

Funny part is, the browser most likely still exists in some aspect, probably through the manual section or something like that. So the PS5 will provably also be hacked through the WebKit. Lol
