The capability to access a full-fledged web navigator on television sets powered by Google’s operating system provides users with a wider range of online functionalities than typical streaming applications. This functionality allows users to browse websites, access web applications, and interact with online content in a manner similar to desktop or mobile experiences, but adapted for the larger screen and remote control interface.
This feature expands the utility of the television beyond entertainment. It offers opportunities for accessing information, engaging in online learning, conducting research, and participating in web-based communication, all from the comfort of the living room. Historically, accessing such a wide range of web content on televisions was limited. This development bridges that gap, bringing a more complete internet experience to the television.
