Is it possible to add a browser component?

Hello, would it be possible to add a browser component that allows accessing a website on the touch screen connected to ESP32? Greetings!

This depends on what you want to do. If you want to retrieve data from a website then this should already be possible. If you want to display a webpage then this would be a very big task.

My idea is to design a navigation page similar to a mobile phone on another server, and access this navigation page using (ESP32 + touch screen). Additionally, I want to control the brightness of the touch screen through MQTT. This way, I can create a device similar to a mobile phone that can be used by middle school students. In certain special occasions, the screens of all devices can be uniformly turned off. Of course, more interesting features can be added as well. In summary, it would be a convenient way to create a simple yet powerful mobile phone. Furthermore, authentication and authorization can be implemented on the server side to control access based on user permissions and classifications.

Displaying a web page is actually a very complicated task - you are effectively creating a web browser.

Well, upon careful consideration, it is indeed quite complex.
