That’s the best workaround for this issue.
Then you can use your Smartphone or PC’s internet browser. So you just have to connect your device to the same WiFi network as your Roku TV and cast the entire screen onto the TV. If you have an iPhone, Roku supports Apple’s Airplay 2. I occasionally do this with my Android phone and Windows PC. You can find both web browsers on the channel store and download them to your channel list. Roku supports the Miracast standard which enables you to share a display of any compatible device wirelessly to the big screen. Officially, the two Roku web browsers are available in the Roku Channel Store are POPRISM Web Browser or Web Browser X. Although you won’t find an official web browser on your Roku device, some developers managed to create two web browsers compatible with Roku Web Browser X and POPIRISM. Luckily, Roku does support Screen mirroring for both android and iPhone quite well. Well, the best option really, is to screen mirror your smartphone or computer to your Roku Smart TV or Streaming player. So what are your options if you badly need a web browsing experience on you Roku TV for some reason? That’s why Roku is wise enough not to include a web browser on their Smart TV platform and I don’t see this changing in the future. So adding an internet browser to TVs or streaming players which are severely limited would cripple the user experience from the get go.

Those specs don’t inspire a lot of confidence if you want to run a fully-blown internet browser capable of rendering today’s very complex websites on a wide Full HD or 4K TV screen. Take the $29 Roku Express for instance, it comes with just 512 MB of memory and is powered by a ARM Cortex A55 1.25 GHz processor. Also internet browsers use up a lot of storage, memory and compute power which are terribly limited on Smart TVs let alone miniature streaming sticks and players from Roku.
