Some sites I visit using not an app, but a regular web page, require I do a right click to access display options within the web page. So add Right Click functionality please.

I have a "right click" question. It was mentioned earlier in this thread.
When I am using the browser function on my LG TV (Web OS Version 4.0.0-16022), there are some sites I visit where I need to do right click to access a function's options on a web page. Is there a way to simulate a right click using my Magic Remote (AN-MR18BA), or using the pop-up Web OS keyboard?

The very first time you bookmark a webpage in the browser the tv asks if you want to also add your favourite bookmarks to your tv home screen. It states that a maximum of 5 bookmarks can be added to your homescreen.
I clicked "no" so havent used the funcionality myself but one would assume that if you click "yes" when first prompted, then each bookmark you save in the browser will be added to your home screen automatically until you have reached the maximum of 5.
A quick look through both the browser and tv settings suggests there is no way to manually enable/disable this option after the initial prompt other tha n resetting the tv to initial settings. There doesnt seem to be any options when selecting a bookmark either so i would assume the homescreen only displays the first 5 bookmarks in your browser list. Can you rearrange your bookmarks within the broswer? That should change the 5 listed in your homescreen. Other than that you may have to delete bookmarks in order to rearrange your list.
Thanks Dave, I got around to testing what you suggested, and it does work just like you said ---- the first 5 Bookmarks are the ones displayed on the homescreen. And, by moving around the bookmarks, you control what the 5 bookmarks are that appear on the homepage.

Ignore the option of trying to download, basically the website is trying to read the browser identification string, failing and then offering you the nearest equivalent it has available. The reason you are being told Chrome is not up to date is that the LG webOS browser is based on WebKit which is Apple's basis for its Safari browser and is used (or soon to be used, I'm looking at you Microsoft Edge) by pretty much every other major browser out there apart from Mozilla's Firefox. Yes webOS is 'nix under the hood, but this does not mean that you can just install a Linux app on the system, it would have to be written and compiled especially for the platform.
Thanks George, I was hoping you would be able to answer my question and clear this up. I will ignore the update messages that pop up on my Home Page.

Either call LG customer support see above number or send an email to chrome to see if they can push an update to LG...
or just take a deep breath and breathe easily because, maybe, nothing's going to change...

Sadly the only thing you can do is inform the owners of the site that it does not work with webOS and hope that they fix the issue.
POSSIBLE CHROME UPDATE.....
When I landed on my LG WebOS 4.0 Home Page this morning, there was a message near the top of the screen that said something to the effect of "You have an older version of Chrome, press here to update to the latest version".
After I pressed that, it didn't download, but instead gave me the task of selecting which "Chrome for Linux" Package to download.
Option 1: 64bit.deb fir debian/Ubuntu
Option 2: 64bit.rpm/openSUSE for Fedora/open SUSE
Option 3: "Other" Link
Then, at the bottom of the page it said: "Google Chrome will automatically add the Google repository to automatically keep up to date."
----------------------------------------------
So my question is, should I always ignore such messages, or, if I can update Goggle Chrome, as I was prompted, WHICH OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE???

Some things I listen to on YouTube have a static screen, and I don't want any burn in. Sometimes I leave the music playing for hours. Yes, YouTube has channels that can play for hours with one "video."

I already linked a few web pages to the LG Home Page on my Smart TV (UK6500AUA), but, that was over a week ago, and I can't remember how I was able to do that.
So let's no confuse this Bookmarks I have already made that I see when I go my Default WebOS page (Google Search).

I have an LG UK6500AUA. My WebOS version is 4.0.0-16022 (goldilocks-gayasam). I used the WebOS internet (*not the YouTube App) to log into my YouTube account. I wanted to comment in Live Chat. And I got this message:
"It looks like you are using an older version of your browser. Please update to use Live Chat."
What can I do ? ? I'd like to able to comment in the live chat of YouTube...
