LOCAL-FIRST

DiamondBrowser TV contains no analytics, advertising identifiers, cloud sync or crash-reporting SDK. Browser data stays on your TV unless a website or service you visit independently collects or transmits information under its own policies.

Compatibility notes: Some streaming services require DRM, proprietary apps, account attestation or license configuration and may not support WebView or native transfer. Playback quality and format support depend on the website, network, stream configuration and codecs available on your Android TV device. DiamondBrowser TV does not bypass access controls or service restrictions.

Requires Android TV 8.0 or newer.
