Pretty much unusable.

Very slow - scrolling is terrible. 

Compatibility with various Web sites is poor.

Luckily I have an old Windows 7 computer connected.

Why even have a browser that's so bad?

@Rick Hantz Many users complain about LG (and other manufacturers) thatdo not update the in-built browser.

Unfortunatley, internet standards and functiontality changes too rapidly for TV manufactureres to keep pace. In therory, it SHOULD be easy to treat the in-built browser like any other APP, and change it as needed, BUT my understanding is, that is it very tied in with the main video rendering chips in each model type, so that makes it very hard to rewrite the Browser APP to work with new functionality AND be compatible with the chip-sets in each model (as they will have very different capabilities accross the model ranges).

You don't quote your model, but if it is a 2020 or 2021 model, and it is bad, try raising a complaint with LG support in your country.

      Default admin PWD not working after firmware updates
      By JPP03
      I've update 2 of my LG Digital signage TVs (Model 65UH5J-HP) to the latest firmware (3.74.00). Before updating I was able to access the admin menu using "000000" as the default PWD. After updating, I am no longer able to use that default password to access the admin menu. It's giving me a message saying "Incorrect password (Same number repeated). Please try again" 
      I tried to usual suspects: 
      123456 
      654321
      111111
      666666 
      No bueno  - anyone got any insights?  LG corporate support was unable to help either.

From the same wifi network (home network) videos from that site play fine to a number of devices (Android phones, 2 win11 laptops, 1 win10 laptop).
      Adjusted all browser settings (JavaScript, cookies), cleared cookies, cleared all browser data and history. 
      No updates available to download
      Finally, reset to factory settings but still videos from cannot be played on the tv set.

      Browser crashes on BBC news site/website
      By DeeDeee
      My WebOS browser always crashes if I go onto the BBC news website. It is the only site I have this problem with. I've tried the usual solutions, clearing the history/cache/cookies and I don't think it is memory as I have no other problems. Ever so grateful for any suggestions. TIA.
