    Good idea, it depends on the implementation though - sometimes having a browser on demand is important.

      How do you think people managed before smart phones?

      Nothing’s that important it can’t wait to get home or to a library, or call someone and get them to check if it is THAT important .

        I’m not saying it’s unmanageable, I’m saying it’s useful to have one.

        A web browser is not the problem in most people’s cases, social media is. The point of a dumb smartphone is to keep all the useful tools while banning the harmful ones.

          No, if people can receive emails, it defeats the entire purpose. Just don’t install those apps then? Lol. A browser allows access to most social media anyways, so providing one is counter to its purpose.

            Strongly disagree. Email is foundational communication just like text messaging.

            Social media is NOT foundational communication.

              And an email can wait until you get home, if it’s that important, call, but texts suffice.

              A browser allows access to social media, so now you just lost the phones sole purpose, good job.
