It’s not Chrome, but we finally have a working web browser for Android TV
I know there are a lot of you with an Android TV device (Nexus Player or ADT-1 for now) that want to browse the web. It’s already possible by sideloading the APK of a browser app such as Chrome, but it won’t work properly with the remote control or game controller. Instead, you will need a mouse in order to navigate, which can be a pain in the you know what.
Well those days are over since a new app called, Web Browser for Android TV is now available for Android TV devices. Unfortunately, it’s not Chrome, but it will get the job done for whatever you’re looking to do. It will load both mobile and full desktop sites. It supports streaming videos as well as HTML5 full screen videos. You can even save your favorite web pages, although it won’t sync with Chrome. Finally, and the best part of all, it will work with a remote control, a game controller, or the Android TV remote app.
