Greetings from the Roku Community, @harshjeet!

Please be advised that Roku streaming devices and Roku TVs do not have a web browser that allows users to browse the internet. However, Roku devices do allow users to stream video and music from the internet.

If there's anything else that we can do to assist you, please let us know.

All the best,
John

It is expressly prohibited to publish a web browser for Roku devices.  If you want to do it as an exercise (probably in futility), you're welcome to try, but don't expect any help from Roku.  There are other forums (Slack comes to mind) with Roku developers that would probably be more helpful.
