Upket Browser: TV & Ad Blocker

A real web browser for your TV, built for the remote. Upket also runs on phones and tablets, with the same features on every screen, and blocks ads and trackers out of the box.

Made for the big screen

• Smooth on-screen cursor driven by your remote's D-pad, or move between links like other TV apps

• Hold an arrow at the screen edge to scroll; pick the cursor's speed and style

• Select text with the remote, then copy, share or search

• Remote media keys control videos and music; "Arrow keys to page" hands the remote to web games

• Use your phone as a remote: touchpad, D-pad, keyboard and tab list, by QR code or 6-digit code (same Wi-Fi)

Ads and pop-ups blocked

• Built-in ad blocker, on by default, with lists updated every day: EasyList, EasyPrivacy, uBlock Origin filters and a Vietnamese list

• Optional lists (OISD, AdGuard DNS, HaGeZi, StevenBlack…), or add your own

• Stops pop-ups and pages that redirect you on their own; links you tap and sign-in windows still open

• Allow a site you like with one tap from the menu

• See in Settings how many ads and trackers were blocked and about how much data that saved, with a 30-day chart

Privacy you control

• Tracking protection with Standard, Strict and Custom levels: known trackers, social trackers, crypto miners, third-party cookies and Global Privacy Control

• Private tabs: no history, and site data is deleted when you close the last one

• Secure DNS (Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, AdGuard or your own, such as NextDNS) and HTTPS-only mode

• Clear browsing data any time, or automatically on exit

• No account and no ads in the app. Your history and bookmarks stay on your device

Great for video

• Full screen with your own controls: play/pause, ±10 s, seek bar, speed 0.5x–2x, and pick the video on pages with several

• Phones and tablets: swipe sideways to seek, faster the further you swipe; double-tap to skip; swipe up or down for brightness and volume; pinch to zoom

• Picture-in-picture, and background playback on phones and tablets

• A video you start can fill the screen by itself (on TV by default)

Your way, site by site

• Text size, zoom and desktop or mobile version, remembered for each site

• Dark web pages for sites with no dark theme

• Turn JavaScript or autoplay off for a site

• Camera, microphone and location permissions per site

Everything else you expect

• Translate pages on the device, and reader mode

• Userscripts: install Tampermonkey scripts to change how pages look and work

• Tabs with undo close, bookmarks (import and export) and history

• Voice search and suggestions; 11 search engines or your own

• Find in page, long-press menus, downloads with progress, light and dark theme

• Search bar widget, and add any page to your home screen (phones)

• Make Upket your default browser (phones), with the address bar at the top or bottom

• 14 languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian and Vietnamese

Pages are shown by Android System WebView (version 101 or newer; the app asks you to update an older one). Page translation uses Google ML Kit on your device, which sends Google basic diagnostics when you use it; the text of the page stays on your device.
