How do you update web browser?

[AL-G]

Unlike any other muaufacturer of internet access equipment LG dont provide any mechanism to update their browser or use Adobe Flash. So, as sites update their flash player or their security software your LG "smart" tv will drop those sites, you will end up having access to fewer and fewer sites and will be unable to access new ones.  LG seem to think that its not there fault!!????????

My advice if you have just wasted your cash is to unplug it a take it back, your problems are just begining!...Buy one with Google Chrome or anything that is widely known to the ouside world that can obviously be updated.

I think the browser is part of web OS and will be updated when your TV updates it's web OS.

Flash is old. Flash is not going to be supported by Adobe for much longer.

Are you aware that LG explicitly say they DO NOT support video streaming in their web browser anyway?

As Adobe have not supported Flash of TVs for several years it is not just LG's platform that does not use it.  Also, Adobe is ending support for Flash this year, please feel free to read any of the many articles available on the internet covering the matter:

Adobe dropped support for all Smart TVs several years ago, and are completely discontinuing development of Flash at the end of 2020:

Sites that are still using Flash are only doing so because they have yet to embrace the HTML5 revolution that has been around nearly ten years, sadly they are basically too lazy to change/will not spend the money to update.  The best thing is to complain to Zee5, it worked with HOTSTAR who not only upgraded their site to work with the webOS browser, but they also developed and released an app for the platform.

To watch online movies it needs to enable the AdBlock, but I can't see it on the WebOs  browser. How to enable it?

No they aren't. Flash isn't even in active development, having been discontinued by Adobe last year. You can't even play Flash content in the native Flash Player since Adobe blocked it back in January of 2021. No major browser has supported Flash in years and no decent video content producer has used it in at least five years.

Lg tv browser not supported 

[jameshsmith32s34]

You cannot install the Google's Chrome browser in webOS as it does not have a native port.  Currently the only web browser that can be used in webOS is the one it comes with.  Neither is Adobe's Flash supported by webOS.
