Couchweb is a web browser made for your TV and its remote. It opens on a big-tile home page you can read from the sofa, and everything works with the D-pad: arrows move a clear focus ring, OK opens, Back goes back.
MADE FOR THE REMOTE
- A ten-foot home page: your favourite sites as large tiles, plus a search box you reach with one press.
- Channel up / channel down switch to the previous or next tab, because a remote has no Ctrl+Tab.
- Play/pause on the remote pauses or plays the main video on the page.
- No touchscreen, mouse or keyboard needed. On a wide Android screen Couchweb starts in its ten-foot layout straight away.
BROWSING
- Tabs, private tabs, bookmarks and history.
- The Shield blocks many ads and trackers before they load, and you can switch it off for a single site.
- HTTPS-first, and clear your browsing data by time range.
- Pages are drawn by Android's own system WebView, so sites behave as they do in other Android apps.
SIGN-IN AND SYNC
You sign in to Couchweb with your Google account. Sync is off until you turn it on; then your bookmarks, tabs and settings follow you between devices, encrypted on the device before they leave it.
WHAT IT COSTS
Couchweb is free. On phones and tablets it shows a Google AdMob banner on its own screens (such as the home page, Settings and History). It never puts an ad into or over a web page, and the ten-foot TV layout has no ads.
Couchweb needs a TV, box or stick running Android TV or Google TV, or any Android phone or tablet.
