Why can't they create a web browser for Roku so we can browse the internet on it? They could call it "Surf & Stream."
Or they could call it "WebTV"! 😀 But they don’t seem to be interested in that market at all.
Perhaps you've never tried using a TV based browser. They are extremely difficult to use, as web browsers and web sites are all designed to use a mouse and keyboard. I have a Samsung TV with a browser, and while I've tried it, it's simply too cumbersome to use. Some devices, such as the Nvidia Shield, allow connecting a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse/touchpad. But Roku devices don't support such peripherals, and without them a browser is a real pain to use.
I've always wanted my Rokus to toast my breakfast bagel, but they can't seem to do that either.
