Can no longer view websites on smart display
Let's say you ask your Lenovo Smart Display, "What is a Rat Terrier?"<p>You get a nice summary screen with a photo of a Rat Terrier, and the assistant says, "According to Wikipedia, the Rat Terrier is an American dog breed [and goes on from there]"<p>There is also a handy Wikipedia link in the middle of the page if you want to read more.<p>Last week this link - and all other viewing of web pages - was disabled by a Google update. This is not a "bug" from Google's point of view, it was a deliberate and documented change.<p>> <i>Important: Access to the web isn’t supported on Smart Displays made by manufacturers other than Google.</i><p><a href="https://g.co/assistant/web-filter" rel="nofollow">https://g.co/assistant/web-filter</a><p>Of course it was supported before this forced update!<p>I am thinking of filing against Google in small claims court to be refunded the price I paid for my three Lenovo Smart Displays.<p>Also discussed on the Lenovo forum:<p><a href="https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Link-App-Smart-Home-Essentials-and-Smart-Frame/websites-no-longer-work-on-lenovo-smart-display/m-p/5121102" rel="nofollow">https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Link-App-Smart-Home-Esse...</a>
