Kodi is a cross-platform tool for viewing and organizing media. While you can use it to play music and watch videos, you can also use it to do a lot more like browsing the internet. In this article, we will discuss how you can download and use the best web browsers for Kodi.
You can use a web browser in Kodi by installing certain add-ons to your Kodi system. And Add-on is a small piece of software that will be added to the main Kodi software to expand and enhance its features.
These add-ons can be found in repositories, which are online storage locations where add-ons are saved.
Here we will show you 3 different methods to surf the web on Kodi. Each method uses a different Add-on. Some of these add-ons are placed in default Kodi repositories, while others require you to add the repository manually.

The SuperRepo repository includes more than 2000 add-ons. You can install all or just the Chrome Launcher add-on.
The option “Unknown sources” must be enabled to install third-party repositories like SuperRepo. You can enable it on “Settings>System Settings>Add-on>Uknown sources”

Yes. Kodi has a web version that is widely unknown to its users despite being an in-built feature. This web interface allows you to control your Kodi library from a website on any device connected to your network. It also allows you to search files and manage playlists remotely.
However, the Kodi Web interface is disabled by default and you have to enable it manually.
It can be done in Settings >Services > Control > Allow remote control via HTTP.
