How to use the MIB as a web browser

I didn't see this posted so I figured I would since people want to use internet in their houses. Sorry if this is well known.

All you have to do is start up the MIB. On the first page just scroll down and pick Privacy Policy. When you`re on that page you will see a paragraph about yahoo at the top of that page. Towards the end of the second line there is a link called YAHOO! PRIVACY POLICY, click on it. Now just use the search bar at the top to search for where ever you want to go (I personally went to google right away), and thats it. You can go on any site on the web. However it will not let you open new windows or tabs so some links might not work, also it won`t let you view history and stuff so be careful. I guess it`s the closest thing we are going to get to a web browser on home for a while so enjoy it.

Ehh, what is an MIB?

Not everyone is familiar with your TLA (Three Lettter Acronym)

MIB = Mobile Internet Browser

That Inventory item is located in the Loot store in the Mall and is free.

Watch what you do with this. I logged into my Facebook account from the MIB by using Loot's Facebook link on their product page. Crashed my PS3 when I tried to add a post.

I was going to ignore the MIB, but now I need one. Maybe next they will flat out have laptops with internet browsers.

Your home away from Home...away from home?

Seriously though, Kudos to the OP - very ingenious!
