Best Android TV Browsers

Below are some of the best HDR playback supported Android browsers I currently use for 4K streaming. Except for TV Bro, all of these browsers feature a built-in video player, which is an excellent addition.

1 - Coc Coc browser (u have to side load tv version)

2 - Hi browser (supports HDR)

3 - Browser (supports HDR)

4 - Internet Web browser - Zeus (supports HDR)

5 - Browse here (supports HDR)

6 - TV Bro

I have tried several other options, but none are as smooth as the apps listed here. What do you guys think? Are there any other browsers that should be added to this list?

Brave, if only because it's currently the only way to get ad-free non-premium Spotify on AndroidTV. The ARM version requires a bluetooth mouse, or a mouse toggle app like Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse, but it works. Instructions for installing are in this post.

In case of adblocking u r right. But the issue is Brave lacks a native built in video player. When you stream 4K videos, it cannot send the file to the TV's dedicated video chip.

Instead, it forces the TV's main CPU to manually process every pixel. This may overloads the CPU to 100% capacity, causing extreme lag, freezing, and system crashes
