想象一下，如果您可以在电视上访问互联网。它使阅读文本更容易，并且您可能想要添加一些流媒体网站（也许不完全合法）(streaming websites (perhaps not completely legal))，但您不想经历安装HDMI电缆的麻烦。
好消息是，您可以将网络浏览器添加到Roku，并使用它直接从您的计算机上网。更好的消息是，有比以往更多的方法来做到这一点，但需要注意的是，该功能仍然有些限制。
如何添加和使用 Roku Web 浏览器(How to Add and Use a Roku Web Browser)
有多种方法可以通过Roku添加和激活 Web 浏览器，无论您使用的是Mac还是 PC。要记住的关键是，您需要一台计算机才能充分利用Roku中的网络浏览器，因为没有官方支持。
原因是在没有鼠标和键盘的情况下使用 Web 浏览器非常具有挑战性。Roku知道这一点，并且(Roku)Roku设备上缺乏蓝牙键盘(Bluetooth keyboard)或鼠标支持，这使得浏览网络几乎是不可能的。
如何通过屏幕镜像在 Roku 上使用 Web 浏览器(How to Use a Web Browser on Roku Through Screen Mirroring)
如果您有Mac或 iOS 设备，则可以通过镜像屏幕在 Roku 上浏览网页。您基本上会使用笔记本电脑或手机来导航、搜索和执行其他功能，但信息会显示在您的电视上。
这样可以轻松地向其他人显示 Web 内容，或者只是在您浏览时为您提供不同的视图。这是如何做到的。
- 打开您选择的网络浏览器。
- 在 Mac 上，选择屏幕右上角的命令中心图标。(Command Center )在 iOS 上，向下滑动以打开命令中心(Command Center)。选择屏幕镜像(Screen Mirroring)。
- 从出现的设备列表中 选择您的Roku设备。(Roku)
在大多数情况下，笔记本电脑的分辨率会改变(resolution on your laptop will change)以匹配电视的分辨率。这可能会导致更小的窗口和更难阅读的文本，但允许您使用更多的屏幕空间。
不幸的是，在手机上使用此方法效果不佳。默认情况下，它将以垂直视图显示整个屏幕。您可以将手机横置以在横向模式下使用它，但电视上的相应图片会放大显示并为您提供有限的视野。
如何通过 Windows 10 在 Roku 上使用 Web 浏览器(How to Use a Web Browser on Roku Through Windows 10)
如果您是Windows用户，您可以通过(Windows)将屏幕从 PC 投影(projecting your screen from your PC)到流媒体棒来在Roku设备上浏览网络。就是这样。
- 在 Windows 10 PC 上，选择屏幕右下角的通知选项卡。(Notifications)
- 选择项目(Projec)图标。
- 从您可用的四个选项（仅限 PC屏幕(Screen)、复制(Duplicate)、扩展(Extend)、仅限第二个(Second)屏幕）中，选择复制(Duplicate)。
- 选择连接到无线显示器。(Connect to wireless display.)
- 从出现的列表中选择您的Roku设备。(Roku)
如果这是您第一次像这样将 PC 连接到Roku ，您的(Roku)Roku本身将请求连接权限。接下来(Next)，选择允许(Allow)或始终允许(Always Allow)。
在此之后，您的屏幕将连接到您的Roku并成为完美的镜子。在大多数情况下，决议将是相似的。
需要注意的一个有趣功能是，您可以使用相同的方法让您的电视充当 PC 的第二个显示器。只需(Just)确保您的 PC 与 Miracast 兼容；如果您没有 Wi-Fi 卡，您可能无法使用此功能。
内置 Roku 浏览器
官方支持的“浏览器”有两种，但都不是真正意义上的浏览器。Roku 媒体浏览器(Roku Media Browser)和Roku Reddit(Roku) 浏览器(Reddit Browser)可以通过频道商店访问并添加到您的Roku 。尽管如此，两者都没有很好的评论，媒体浏览器平均为 2.5 星， (Media Browser)Reddit 浏览器(Reddit Browser)平均为1.5 星。
事实是，除了将您的Mac(Mac)或 PC 屏幕镜像到您的Roku设备之外，两者都没有足够的功能来使它们的使用更容易或更有价值。因此，不建议使用这两种浏览器，尽管如果没有其他选项有效，它们将处于紧要关头。
过去，可以使用其他非官方的浏览器，例如著名的Browser X或POPRISM浏览器。然而，Roku已经取消了对这些服务的支持，并且它们不再可以在频道商店中找到或通过任何官方方式添加。
在Roku添加浏览器之前，在(Roku)Roku设备上浏览 Web 的最佳方式是镜像您的显示器或从兼容的Windows 10设备 投影。
How to Add and Use a Roku Web Browser
Imagine if you could access the internet on yoυr TV. It makes rеading text easier, and there are some streaming websites (perhaps not completely legal) you might want to add, but you don’t want to go through the trouble of installing an HDMI cable.
The good news is that you can add a web browser to Roku and use it to surf the web straight from your computer. The better news is that there are more ways than ever before to do this, with the caveat that the feature is still somewhat limited.
How to Add and Use a Roku Web Browser
There are several ways to add and activate web browsers through Roku, whether you’re on a Mac or PC. The key thing to remember is that you will need a computer of some kind to take full advantage of a web browser in Roku, as there is no official support.
The reason is that using a web browser without a mouse and keyboard is hugely challenging. Roku knows this, and the lack of Bluetooth keyboard or mouse support on Roku devices makes it all but impossible to navigate the web.
How to Use a Web Browser on Roku Through Screen Mirroring
If you have a Mac or an iOS device, you can browse the web on your Roku by mirroring your screen. You would essentially use your laptop or phone to navigate, search, and perform other functions, but the information appears on your TV.
This makes it easy to show web content to other people or just to give you a different view while you browse. Here’s how to do it.
- Open your web browser of choice.
- On Mac, select the Command Center icon in the top-right corner of the screen. On iOS, swipe down to open the Command Center. Select Screen Mirroring.
- Select your Roku device from the list of devices that appears.
In most cases, the resolution on your laptop will change to match that of your television. This can result in smaller windows and text that is more difficult to read but allow you to use much more screen real estate.
Unfortunately, using this method on your phone is not as effective. By default, it will show your entire screen in a vertical view. You can turn your phone sideways to use it in landscape mode, but the corresponding picture on your TV will appear zoomed in and provide you with a limited field of view.
How to Use a Web Browser on Roku Through Windows 10
If you are a Windows user, you can browse the web on your Roku device by projecting your screen from your PC to your streaming stick. Here’s how.
- On a Windows 10 PC, select the Notifications tab in the lower-right corner of the screen.
- Select the Project icon.
- From the four options available to you (PC Screen only, Duplicate, Extend, Second screen only), choose Duplicate.
- Select Connect to wireless display.
- Select your Roku device from the list that appears.
If this is the first time you’ve connected your PC to your Roku like this, your Roku itself will request permission to connect. Next, select Allow or Always Allow.
After this, your screen will connect to your Roku and be a perfect mirror. For the most part, the resolutions will be similar.
An interesting feature to note is that you can use this same method to allow your TV to act as a second monitor for your PC. Just make sure your PC is Miracast-compatible; if you do not have a Wi-Fi card, you might not be able to make use of this feature.
Built-In Roku Browsers
There are two officially supported “browsers,” but neither one is really a browser in the true sense of the word. The Roku Media Browser and Roku Reddit Browser can be accessed and added to your Roku through the channel store. Still, neither one has great reviews, averaging 2.5 stars for the Media Browser and 1.5 stars for the Reddit Browser.
The fact is that neither one has enough features to make their usage any easier or more worthwhile than just screen mirroring your Mac or PC to your Roku device. Therefore, neither browser is advisable to use, although they are there in a pinch if no other options work.
In the past, other unofficial browsers could be used, such as the famed Browser X or the POPRISM browser. However, Roku has since pulled support for these services, and they can no longer be found in the channel store or added through any official means.
Until Roku adds a browser, the best way to browse the web on a Roku device is by mirroring your display or projecting from a compatible Windows 10 device.
