That means, even if you do manage to get to a website like Netflix or another service that requires a log in of some kind, you won’t be able to. It seems that, as of now, there’s no method for text entry. For instance, if you wanted to navigate to, you can ask “What is W3schools?” to pull up the Wikipedia entry and then click to the site. While there’s no way to manually navigate to a specific webpage, you can find your way to just about any site on the web by searching for a relevant Wikipedia entry and clicking the various links. From there, you can scroll around to read more. For these queries (and many others) you should see a Wikipedia result with a tappable link near the bottom. You can try “Who is Nelson Mandela?” or “What is a giraffe?”. To pull up the browser, simply use the normal hotword “OK Google” to search for a query that might give you a Wikipedia result.
How to use the web browser on Google Home Hub This means that you won’t be able to search for anything. Follow that link, and you are able to browse pretty much the entire online encyclopedia - with one notable exception: Home Hub doesn’t offer any on-screen keyboard, and there’s no option to dictate text input. However, searching for an image often leads to results that then link to third-party websites like Wikipedia. While many missed it, Variety’s Janko Rottgers noted the existence of the browser in his initial review of the Home Hub: The existence of the browser isn’t a new addition, but it is a “hidden” feature that many might not yet know about.
It’s not a standalone app that’s meant to be used by itself, but you can manually navigate around the web to just about anywhere. In case you weren’t already aware, Google Home Hub has a built-in web browser.
