Ratings and reviews

Fast & simple. Unfortunately doesn't remember the last site you were on between restarts, and there is no way to set the "home" site. So, not suitable for unattended "kiosk" use. Also, doesn't keep screen alive, and there is no setting to do so as with some Android TV browsers like TV Bro (can be worked around by enabling Android developer mode).

Super. Odin practically turns my 70" Acer Android smart TV into a giant Chromebook. I tried a bunch of other browsers, but they were just unpredictable. Not one, for example, opened Gmail properly. Gmail always made those browsers crash (Puffin, Jio Pages, Open Browser). But Odin runs Gmail perfectly. And Google Drive and Google Docs. And YouTube. And it feels like a regular, desktop browser, too.

No ad blocker, can't scroll within drop downs, and related to all that, doesn't launch at all starting today.
