You probably never noticed it, but the Nest Hub has a built-in browser. Better yet, the latest version of Cast OS (or Fuchsia OS on the first-gen Nest Hub) adds a keyboard to the Nest Hub\u2019s browser, giving you the power to properly navigate webpages.<\/p>\n

First noticed by 9to5Google<\/a>, the on-screen keyboard comes up when you press a text or search field on a webpage. Its layout is similar to the virtual keyboard on Chrome OS, and it can be minimized at any time.<\/p>\n

To try the on-screen keyboard, you\u2019ll first have to open a browser window. Doing so is a bit difficult, though. You need to ask your Google Assistant something that might bring up Wikipedia results, like \u201cWho is Jake the Snake?\u201d. Assistant will answer the question and show a Wikipedia icon that, when pressed, opens Wikipedia in the browser.<\/p>\n

If you want to go to a certain website, you can ask Google Assistant questions like \u201cWhat is Weather.com,\u201d then open the associated Wikipedia page and hope that it has an embedded link to the site you want to visit.<\/p>\n

While the Nest Hub\u2019s new built-in browser keyboard is somewhat useless (given that the browser is so hard to open), it shows that Google is interested in expanding the Nest Hub\u2019s capabilities. A proper browser could reduce the need for voice commands, which may app<\/a>eal to users with accessibility needs or privacy concerns.<\/p>\n

The 1.54 update is still rolling out, and it may take a few days or weeks to reach your Nest Hub. Not that it matters all that much\u2014unless you\u2019re a big fan of the Nest Hub\u2019s browser.<\/p>\n
