With Firefox or Silk browser, users can visit websites like YouTube, Facebook, and Reddit.

Just ask, ‘Alexa, play Arijit Singh songs’ on your Alexa Voice Remote. Further, with far-field technology, users can pair any Echo device with Fire TV Stick to control their entertainment experience hands-free. Just ask Echo to play and search for movies and TV shows, launch apps, and control playback on your Fire TV without lifting a finger, for eg: ‘Alexa, forward 10 mins’ or ‘Alexa, Play ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ on Fire TV’.
The all-new Alexa Voice Remote lets users control complete entertainment experience and helps quickly find the content using your voice. Just say, ‘Alexa, find comedies’, or ‘Alexa, play Mirzapur.’ The Alexa experience on Fire TV is always getting smarter with new Alexa skills and voice functionality. Here are some of the things you can do with the Alexa powered remote- View live camera feeds(with Alexa enabled cameras), check sports scores, order food, book a cab and stream millions of songs using your remote. The all-new Alexa Voice Remote is compatible with all Fire TV devices available in India and can control power and volume on thousands of TVs. Existing Fire TV Stick customers can also purchase the all-new Alexa Voice Remote (with TV control) separately for INR 1,999 to have the convenience of controlling TV functions from FTV remote itself.
