How to fix built-in browser not working on Apple Watch SE 2nd gen for over two years?

When I use Siri to go onto a supported webpage, it doesn’t work it stays loading for like a minute then has a green lock and the website title is green, I’ve tried restarting, resetting, going to the literal genius bar (they couldn't figure it out), clearing browser cache, I've literally tried switching phones (technically) as I went from the SE 3rd gen to the 11 but nothing will work, this is also Apple Watch SE 2nd gen on newest watchOS version. 10-26.2


Please help it’s been not working for 2 years now.


The last form got locked (guessing due to inactivity) so this is more or less a repost, now of a repost as it literally has not changed. I have submitted many bug reports with no reply whatsoever. Genius Bar couldn’t figure it out, apple support couldn’t figure it out, replacing it didn’t work. This is a widespread problem that seems to not be just on my model. My previous forums are https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256051271?cid=em-com-apple_watches_email_thread_owner-view_the_full_discussion-en-us-11282023&sortBy=rank

This has happened for two years now.

Troubleshooting steps are in both threads.

This forum “Has a snowball’s chance in …” of being read by Apple developers.


Bug reports via an Apple Developer account are more likely to have a better chance. But they have to get through triage before they land on the desk of a developer with the ability to effect changes.


Feedback, if sufficient similar repeat posts, from multiple users, may move up the chain and into development, but it will most likely be a harder road to travel.


The goal of this forum is to let Apple users help fellow Apple users. It is not a channel into Apple.
