Features & Capabilities

Puffin TV Browser is an Android TV–optimized web browser that brings full web and video playback to Smart TVs and set-top boxes.

  • Optimized video playback with adjustable playback speeds
  • Fast page loading via Puffin’s cloud servers
  • Send website links from other devices to Puffin TV for an immersive viewing experience

User Reviews

Reviews primarily criticize Puffin TV Browser for heavy monetization and poor reliability. The main issue is a mandatory paid subscription with little to no free access, making it hard to test the product. Users report poor Android TV/NVIDIA Shield performance—laggy playback, flickering video, crashes, and occasional kicks to the TV home screen. Many describe the model as fraudulent or a scam due to pay-before-use concerns and perceived low value. Some note a lack of updates or active support. Overall, positive feedback is scarce.

Ran too slow on my TV - it uses cloud to run and my TV didn’t have the capacity to run it. Three stars because it was pretty good layout wise and with a better TV could be good. Would have been helpful to have a way to view specs needed to get optimal usage.
