Playing in your browser: what you need

No downloads and no installations. What that requires, and what it rules out.

Last updated: 11 August 2026

What you need

A current browser and an internet connection. The content runs in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer, so there is nothing to install and nothing taking up storage.

Why that matters more than it sounds

Anything installed has to be updated, occupies space, and asks for permissions. Browser-based content sidesteps all three: the sandbox the browser already runs everything in applies here too.

Switching devices

Because nothing is installed, moving between a phone and a laptop is a matter of opening the site on the other device. There is no second installation to keep in step.

If something will not load

The usual causes are an out-of-date browser, an extension blocking scripts, or a network that filters traffic. Trying a different browser is the fastest way to tell which of the three you are dealing with.

Data use

Content loads over your connection, so on mobile data it counts against your plan like any other browsing. On a limited plan, using Wi-Fi for longer sessions is the obvious precaution.
