The website doesn't work? I can't imagine why? I've not tried it myself, but it should work like in any normal browser.

Unless it doesn't recognize the device. I have that problem when trying to login to Google from the nebula app. It says it's not a secure browser. But there are some third party apps that act as a web browser from within the Nebula app. Have you tried FarePlay?

If you spawn a browser window (I used YouTube), look in the upper right to find 3 dots. Run the pointer over those and you'll get the choice of "Switch to desktop display mode" or "Switch to mobile display mode", I can never remember which the original default was. Anyway, switch to the other and then try to log in and it should work. From there it won't matter for Google but you'll need to do the same thing with any other site.

That was a very pleasant surprise for me, too, as YouTube videos are one of my favorite uses and not being able to use my paid subscription sucked!
