    As many have frustratingly found, the browser in v9 is hit or miss in terms of compatibility and usability (not to mention reliability). So I thought it might be good to share useful and practical sites that work (well or good enough) with our browser...and as a community service, please make sure they're safe, clean and family friendly.

    I'll start...but unfortunately, I only have found one so far that works...

    For current and forecast Air Quality conditions:
    Home Page | AirNow.gov

    This is cool as it's US nation-wide, does not require a login, but can use your current location if you allow it. It's graphically impressive, yet fairly quick to load, hasn't bombed on me yet, and informational, especially for road trips or planned outdoor activities.

    I've successfully reserved Blu-ray movies from the Redbox website using the browser... if that's worth anything.

    I feel like this would take like 20 minutes to do.

    I like using Yelp to figure out where to grab food.

    This is the reason I doubt I'll really ever use the browser. I can use my phone to get any needed information much more quickly.

    With all the potentialy serious drivability problems in autopilot, dashcam, summon, etc to name a few, why in the world is Tesla wasting valuable programing time on a web browser. Wait - I know - so you can watch Youtube videos while on autopilot with autopilot helper attached
