You can glide through the web pages and precisely click on links without an air mouse. If you are a power user, you are in for a delight with the TV Bro browser. TV Bro supports video playback, multiple tabs, bookmarks, etc. Moreover, after the recent update, your browser tabs stay persistent even after a reboot.
Download TV Bro. It retains all the functionality of the mobile version and you can use it with a gaming controller or a mouse and keyboard. It offers a sleek interface and clean look, you can even turn the night mode on from the settings which gives it an edge over other browsers. No one wants a blinding white light in the middle of the night. Kiwi Browser also has an adblocker built in so you can browse without any interruptions and annoying ads.
The integrated translation feature allows you to translate entire web pages to your native language with just a few clicks. Kiwi Browser can be a great addition to your app catalog if you want a simple web browser, plus also for the native night mode and adblocker.
Opera is one of the better mobile web browsers out there. Even though you have to sideload the app, you can still use and slightly customize the browser for your Android TV. DuckDuckGo browser is designed to work on mobile where you can feel safe while browsing.
It uses the dark theme as default which you can change in the settings. It has a dedicated flame button on the top right corner which clears your browsing history with one tap. You can clear tabs, data, or both using this feature. Using this on Android TV would especially come in handy if you want to keep your searches private from kids.
Samsung Internet browser is loved by both Samsung and non-Samsung users alike. It is fast, supports adblockers, and lets you adjust the text size on the screen, etc. You can even choose from a list of content blockers available for the Samsung Internet browser which in my opinion is incredible because there are only a handful of browsers that offer this service.
It is an absolute treat to see this browser-wide feature that applies to every single website you open. This feature would let you browse the internet during nighttime without burning your retinas.
Have you possibly come up with a correction? I have the app on a second shield tv and it works without issue as well on my fire tv boxes too. Disregard my reply as I got it working. Instead of having downloader get the browser plug in, I downloaded on my laptop, put on a thumb drive, used File Commander and installed from there. Ok I am following the steps to load this on my Minix android box but the app is not showing up in the google play store. Where can I download the app from?
Hello all. It was very cheap android box though. I wpukd be very grateful for solution. Keeps getting connection error. Even tried the url in the downloader and still error no connection. However there is a connection. You tube, Netflix, Hulu and everything else seems to have no issues with a connection. Just this. I have the x96 mini verison 7. Does anybody know if File Commander will work without going Premium? I tried everything. And yes the little lever in the Security Unknown Sources is clicked to allow Downloader access.
Tried installing and uninstalling and clearing the cache a zillion times and every time I enter the browser. So my guess is one of the latest updates on the shield is responsible. Browsers that have dedicated Android TV apps will get extra points. On the flip side, browsers that need to be sideloaded will lose some points. But Puffin just feels faster! On of my favorite things about Puffin is that they made their browser look and act like an app. Apps should feel different because we use them differently.
For example, if you look at Google Chrome, the search bar is front-and-center on the browser. Puffin has a large side menu that disappears as soon as you navigate into the rest of the screen. Clicking into your bookmarks brings them into focus and everything else gets out of your way. I love that! While some TV boxes that run the official Android TV operating system have air-mouse remotes, most do not. Except for that, FireFox is a great web browser to use on your Android TV, especially if you use it on your other devices.
Check out my article that walks you through how to install it on your Android TV here. However, one of the first major updates to the app added a reasonably full-featured browser. Performance is only OK, with Downloader finishing near the bottom of most of the benchmarks. You can turn off JavaScript through a menu option to speed things up, but that will make some websites fail to load. Download can be used with a regular TV remote, since the app shows a small, red circle as the cursor.
You can move the circle around the web page using only the D-pad on your remote. You can read more about it in my full review here. Navigation was very clunky using the Shield TV remote control, but got better when I switched to an air-mouse. As such, you end up losing a couple of lines of test at the bottom of the screen. Performance-wise, the best thing I can say is that Opera was in the middle of the pack in almost every benchmark test.
Between the clunky interface and mediocre performance, Opera was downright frustrating to use on Android TV.
