Opera TV Browser for Android
Infuriating to use on a Sony Android TV.
Super excited to have a nice, quick browser to use on my Shield TV. However, would love to be able to use it on my Nexus Player as well. Also, could benefit from standard keyboard commands, i.e. ctrl + L to go to address bar for those of us with a connected keyboard. Also, please let me change the homepage. I don't want to go to the Sony website.
So much potential, such poor execution. That this poorly executed browser is currently the best Android TV browser available, speaks volumes of the current Android TV browser market. My biggest issues with the browser are that: (1) it is not compatible with my Nexus Player (it IS compatible with my ADT-1 though), which also happens to be the most widely distributed Android TV box currently on the market; (2) there is no way to import your bookmarks from other browsers or accounts; and (3) the home page is set as default to a Sony site and there is no way to change it (no, you cannot set your home page of choice - who is the genius who thought of that one?). If you side load Chrome Beta or Dev, navigation won't be quite as friendly, but so long as you have a keyboard, you'll get an equally powerful browser with the flexibility you need to actually configure it as you prefer. Sorry Opera, but you can do MUCH better than this.
Glad to see a browser for the Nvidia Shield. Hoping for some more features, like mouse speed control. Great first start.
Works well with the ADT-1.

Full of virus prone activity. TV turns on randomly after installing the browser. It seems like somebody can hack into your tv. I had to uninstall and reset the tv. Very bad browser. It messed up with my internet connection and caused problems with connection. Apple TV is probably better. Even an Xbox is better to use for the browser. I wouldn't browse on a tv using this browser for Android TV.
