Are you looking for a web browser to surf the internet on your Roku device? Unfortunately, there are no browsers listed on the Roku Channel Store and hence you can’t install it on Roku. The only possible way to get a browser on Roku is by screen mirroring your smartphone or desktop.

Earlier, Roku had two web browsers, Browser X and POPRISM in its Channel Store. They were removed as they weren’t up to any traditional web browsers. As Roku devices were developed for streaming purposes, you can find only streaming apps in the Store.

This article will show you the ways to screen mirror the browser on your smartphone and desktop to the Roku device.
