There is now a way to use the F1 help menu as a browser again.
I have designed a website that will enable normal browsing. Slightly limited, but personal favourites will be added soon with a login system.

This will be kept up via ad fees. If you wish to advertise on the website(text ads only!) contact me via IM ingame or forum PM.

To fully enable your browser possibilities, go to the following file(example path)
C:\Program Files\SecondLife\skins\xui\en-us\floater_html_help.xml

Please edit the highlighted line to http://runcall.net/ingame.php

This will enable you to browse to any site you wish using an address field. I'm working on a frameset to enable you to have this address line up at all times. A favourites system is also planned so you can store your personal favourites.

Have fun browsing! If you want to know what your homepage will look like before you apply it, visit it in a normal browser.
