Of course PDF files can't be downloaded, but the WebOS version 4.4.0-9 browser can't even display them!  Previous versions of the bowser displayed them just fine.  Now I have a bunch of browser bookmarks that are useless.

Also, there is no way to rearrange the bookmarks anymore.  So version 4 also killed bookmark management.

And while I'm on a rant, I can no longer drag and drop text between tabs.  I have to write down or remember things like URLs and retype them into the new location.  That's something else that got killed in the update.  I'm calling it a downgrade.  Can I go back?

Whatever your computer is capable of,  you can do and see it on your smart TV (used as a monitor) , according to their matching capabilities.  Use your computer's web browser. I don't use any of the WebOS apps, and subsequently haven't had to agree with any of LG's WebOS terms in order to run those apps. The only drawback might be the limit of the computer's video card resolution and speed.

      Sky News stopped working after the webOS update
      By Roy Brown
      webOS updated, I think to 2023, on my C2 a couple of days ago. Since then the News option on the Sky News app no longer works, instead timing out. The Weather and Climate options still work, though.
      I have deleted and reloaded the Sky News app, but the problem remains.
      Does anybody have any suggestions of what I might try to get this working again, or is this something for LG, or Sky, to fix?

      LG web browser
      By Alex Benet
      Hi everyone, I have a recent problem with my lg smart tv web browser. TV's model is 50UH635V and I've noticed that the browser can't open certain websites showing the message "the browser is no longer supported". Is there any solution to this? Can I install a 3rd party browser to my TV, like mozilla, chrome, something like that?
