AMAZON FIRE TV BROWSER TV
Now you can also browse the amazon website directly from your TV, but I would just use my smartphone or laptop for that.Īlright, so I have been using the silk browser on my Fire TV Stick Lite for a while now. This gets to the geeky territory, so I wouldn’t expect ordinary users to find that useful. You can also use Progressive Web Apps (PWA) using this Silk browser. You can also use the silk browser to access local shared files or media on the local network from the web browser through HTTP or FTP protocols. You simply enter the website name in the address bar and voila, you’re able to access the content. But you might need a browser to access a content service that might not have a native app on the Fire TV platform.įor instance, I use the silk browser to access particular streaming services that have websites but don’t have native apps for Fire TV. It might not be checking emails, performing web searches, social media, online shopping, or any of the tasks we generally use browsers for on our smartphones or computers. However, if you’re a power user, you might find a use case for browsers on your smart tv. So most people wouldn’t have any use for a browser on their Smart TVs. The most popular are owned by the biggest names in video sharing, Music, Movie, and TV streaming. Most smart TV apps as you would expect are aimed at content consumption. Smart TVs generally have apps downloaded from the respective Smart TV app stores much like your smartphone. You might ask, why would anyone want to have a browser on their Smart TV? It’s called Internet and shows up as one of the items on the top menu.īut hold up. The browser comes pre-installed on Fire TV Streaming devices. Amazon started supporting the Silk browser, its customized browser designed for smart TV experience based on the Chromium open-source project. Roku has no browser support neither does Google/Android TV or even Apple TV. However, one feature that sets the Fire TV platform apart is the support of a fully-fledged browser.
