The Complete Guide to Browsing Every Website on Your Android TV

Open a random website on a TV browser and you'll usually get a sad result: text you can't read from the couch, menus that need a mouse, and pop-ups you can't close with a D-pad. That's not your TV's fault — it's the website's. It was designed for a 30-centimetre screen with a pointer, not a 3-metre screen with a remote.

web2tv flips the default. It wraps any website in a TV-ready layer: a focus ring you move with the D-pad, enlarged text, fullscreen video, and per-site compatibility scripts that quietly fix the worst offenders — cookie walls get hidden, hover menus get forced open, and page layouts get widened.

What you can actually browse

Short answer: almost everything. Social feeds (Reddit, X, Facebook, Instagram), search (Google, Bing), shopping (Amazon), news (BBC, NYT), video (IMDb, TikTok), AI chats (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) — the team keeps publishing compatibility scripts weekly, and the app applies them automatically the moment you enter a URL.

How to start

  1. Install the web2tv APK (no app store needed — download it directly).
  2. Open the app and enter any URL with the on-screen keyboard.
  3. Watch the compatibility score appear — and if a fix exists, it's applied before you land.
Pro tipStart with the sites on the supported list — they've been tested, fixed, and polished for the couch. Everything else still works, just with a bit more scrolling.
