Are You Browsing Comfortably
summary
Statistics show 7 million UK households (39%) can put the internet on their main TV but only ~7% have smart TVs and average lifespan is seven years so old slow browsers persist; games consoles outnumber smartphones and many TV browsers score poorly on HTML5 tests while Xbox One and PS4 browsers improve; practical tools tested include Xbox SmartGlass, ChromeCast and an adaptive couch mode plugin that bumps base font sizing and media queries in ems; input defaults to D-pad and voice is emerging so designers must ask for context not guess.
