Try these prefixes first before applying the solutions:

• Restart your system: Restarting your computer will help to refresh your device and position it to work with the browser app.

1. Disable VPN

Disabling VPN on your computer could potentially solve your Pi browser issue if the issue is related to your VPN. VPNs can create connectivity issues that interfere with the functioning of certain applications, including browsers because they can block data coming in and out of your computer.

Disabling your VPN could restore functionality to your Pi browser since the VPN would no longer block the browser. Additionally, it prevents any potential data leakages or cyber threats from different locations outside the local network.

Disabling the VPN also decreases network lag and removes potential network restrictions while allowing the Pi browser to access all parts of the web. This will ensure that the Pi browser is not hindered by external sources, and runs as quickly and smoothly as possible.
