If you think you will want to browse quite a bit, though, you probably want one of the mainstream browsers that come with complete functionality. You get limited functionality but they are much easier to use, especially if you are using a basic TV remote. If you are one of those people who only needs a browser on your Android TV box for functional reasons, and to pull up the rare web page, then you probably want to choose one of the browsers that have been optimized for the box, like Puffin or Downloader. In particular, if you want to download anything to install on your Android TV box that isn’t available in a pre-installed app store, or maybe navigate to a website or online video that you want to share with a group. There are times when you want to get online, though, and your TV is the device to do it. You are generally better off whipping out your smartphone for a quick Google, or sitting down with your laptop to disappear down the rabbit hole. The truth is that when it comes to browsing the net, your Android TV box is not the best device to use. Follow our instructions for downloading and installing Chrome on an Android TV box.
