PapaFragolino Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 After messing around with my bugged operator in the orbiter, something came into my mind: what about an ingame browser we could use from either the menu or the codex? If you're looking for something you'll most likely check the wiki instead of the codex in any case, so being able to open it ingame might come in handy.

Tali Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Maybe, though i find it faster just to alt tab but then again i cant keep an eye on ex: chat when trading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaleek Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Yeah i just alt tab, don't want to see development resources dedicated to this. The UI team seems pretty busy as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trichouette Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Alt tab or shift tab for steam's browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarity Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) It would really help a lot if some third party domains could be whitelisted so they open a browser window, just like links to the official warframe pages. That way we could drop links to the wiki in chat for people to use (don't know how well that would work on consoles, with their default browsers). An entire in game browser though is a bad idea, as they become a security issue (think phishing attacks), and it isn't exactly easy keeping them up to date to display most webpages. Even EVE:Online removed their in-game browser, that had been part of the game for years, because it was simply too much work. If you want a browser window, get a second monitor. Pretty much every modern motherboard has integrated graphics these days, any good dedicated GPU will also have more than one monitor connector, and a 14" XGA monitor from a skip is good enough to show webpages on.

Ailissa Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I don't see the point in them wasting time and resources on that when 2 buttons can be pressed in a matter of seconds that takes you straight to a browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckzu Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Steam has its own in-game browser. You need to run Warframe through Steam in order to be able to purchase Tennogen items, so you might as well use Steam's in-game overlay to use their in-game browser of you really don't want to Alt+Tab.

Zeiss17 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Stam overlay is your best friend. Shift+TAB and click in the top right. Danzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heckzu Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 1 hour ago, Corvid said: And for those of us who prefer standalone? Then you can deal with not using Steam. But there's no reason DE would implement their own in game browser when it's not needed and when many players have the feature already. Doing so would just create redundancy and be a waste of resources with no return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get people's issues with using steam, even just for warframe. Either way - alt tab. I do both even with the steam browser being available to me.

Diana.K Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Not worth the developer's time; there are better alternatives and it would be far too expensive (in terms of time, money and security) of a project to embark on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsurus Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Nay. I see no reason for this unless it's entirely game/lore related with no access to the real web (like GTA online's phone browser). A fake game browser like that could be kinda neat though. Darvo's discount website and Nef Anyo's stock market. A fake browser could open up many possibilities for both gameplay and lore.

Sziklamester Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I am using the nonsteam version of the game so an application like this would be handy. I suggested this long times ago but they doesn't look at that topic. There are also for an example the EVE online in game browser which works pretty good nowadays.

Cythphn Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 An complete in-game browser is a terrible idea, as it's really resource-intensive to keep up acceptable security. It was taken out of EVE online (or at least is in the process of being removed), because of how much of a pain keeping it secure was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
