How can I make my Roblox operating system have a web browser?

Roblox is not an appropriate tool for making an operating system that competes with operating systems that’s made by a large cooperation that (probably) has like over thousands (or millions) of engineers behind it (Windows and macOS).

Also this is not a trivial thing to do, especially if you want it to compete with the operating system you mentioned.

Please, like many other said, use a system language for this, not a 3D game engine that’s designed for creating 3D experiences that requires internet connection and an online account.


How would you modify it exactly? How would you open Roblox (technically)?

If you actually want to compete with other operating systems; I have to ask, why are you using a 3D game engine on a sand-boxed environment for this?
What field do you want to compete the two operating system in? Why should we use your operating system over Windows and macOS? What does this offer that others don’t?

I guess you could use the HTTPService in combination with the rich text option on labels to have some very basic html-like formatting commands. Unfortunately there are no links so you’d need to deal with that somehow and obviously images and other media-files aren’t possible to use since they need to be uploaded through roblox.
I use exactly that for displaying update-news and announcements in my game.

Wait, does this mean that I can’t put the link to my Scratch profile on roblox or vise versa?

The same way that there is an open at login setting in Mac

For that part he could just make a new account that it is automatically logged in to

I mean by how would you do it by modifying the source code (which isn’t really needed) to do this as he said to modify it, I assumed meant by modifying the source code.

…and based of this post

I guess he would have to create an account for this a lot of times for someone else and for profit, and I guess that would violate the TOS.

The source code of roblox or linux? Because he could modify linux just fine.

Which part? The creating new accounts? I didn’t know that was a rule. Is it?

You can put your Roblox link on Scratch but you can’t put your Scratch on Roblox.

Ok, thanks. Now only half my games will be double popular I guess.

That uses the Roblox launcher.

Is that a problem? You need the launcher to launch roblox right?

Roblox itself cannot launch the launcher since Roblox can’t open programs.

That’s Scratch’s rules on this. They don’t seem to have many, if at all.

That’s the point of having linux though, otherwise it wouldn’t be needed right?

Thanks, I think a roblox link would be allowed then!

Roblox in Roblox is just not possible with this.

this seems cool and all, but why?

Ok, I guess I’ll have to learn more about computers to figure out a way that this will work. I still like the roblox game idea though even if it’s not it’s own computer!

Because why not? I wish I thought of this idea!

You’ll have to have a separate machine run Roblox, and even then it’s most likely against ToS.

I’m lost. Why are you trying to make an operating system (capable of competing with Windows and macOS) by using roblox?
