You can't just open up a browser on the switch (or a ps5 for that matter). You have to use a workaround to access the browser that's only intended for viewing help/regulatory pages and interacting with wifi captive-portals. I guess they're really mad about the browser exploits that hit them in previous gens. (although, doesn't matter if you still have any browser access)

It's on about the same level as escaping the UI on a touchscreen kiosk to access the web.

I only have an Xbox and I can tell you it's super easy. Just open "Edge".
