Today we will look at how to install the Google Chrome browser on devices with the Android TV operating system in a simple way. For comparison, let's install two versions of the application - “version 57” (the last one, in which text can be copied in the usual way); “79 version” release from Google Play. Also, let's look at how to copy text in the “79 version” using the “Clipboard” application and enable smooth scrolling in experimental functions.

We have already installed Browsers:
TV Bro here
Firefox for TV here

Let's install the next one! A mouse is required to navigate in the Google Chrome browser. In order to download the installation APK files you will need the “Downloader” application. This application is freely available on the Play Store .

We go to the “Downloader” application and click “Allow”:

Next, click “Ok”:

First, install the “57 version” of the application. Enter link - http://catcut.net/K3nP . Click “Go” and the download will begin:

After downloading, click "Settings" and open:

Next, give permission to install from this source:

Install the application and click "Finish":

After that, you can remove the APK file if it is not needed:

Now let's install the “version 79” of the application. Enter the link, click “Go” and the download will start:

Install the application and click "Finish":

To the “79 version” we will set the Label. Enter link - http://catcut.net/64nP . Click "Go":

The Shortcut is installed in the same way as the APK file.

Next, add applications to the home screen:

First, open the “57 version”:

Click "Continue":

For example, in the search we type “Google Chrome Wikipedia” and go to the site:

In this version, you can cling the mouse and move the page. In the usual way, select the text and you can copy it:

Open the “79 version” of the application:

Click "Continue" and turn off the simplified view:

Select a search engine and click "OK":

On the home page, you can still hook and move the mouse, but on the sites it is no longer:

In the search we type "Google Chrome Wikipedia” and go to the site:

Here it is already impossible to hook with the mouse, only scrolling. Open "Clipboard" and click on "Settings":

Moving on to the right side:

Go to Notes:

Select the text or link and click on the plus:

Next, we cling the text with the mouse, drag it to the clipboard and click “Save”:

Thus, in the “79 version” of the Google Chrome application, you can copy text.

Next, let's look at how to enable smooth scrolling. In the search we type - chrome://flags :

In the search box write "Smooth scrolling” :

Open and click "Enabled":

Next, you need to reload:

After the reboot, the smooth scrolling function turned on. If you need to turn it off, click “Disabled”, and if you turned on something unnecessary, you can reset it to factory settings:

Next, we try to scroll, we see smooth scrolling without jerks.
