How to access Chrome on Nintendo Switch?

You can't directly install Google Chrome on a Nintendo Switch, but you can access a hidden, basic web browser by changing your Wi-Fi's DNS settings to a specific address (like 045.055.142.122), which redirects you to a page where you can use Google Search and browse sites like Facebook. This is a workaround, not a native browser, so it's not great for all sites but lets you access basic Google functions and search results.
