JioSphere
JioSphere is a free web browser for internet browsing and entertainment, including news and television programs. It supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, with listed device support also covering Android TV, set-top boxes, JioBook, and automotive infotainment. The browser includes ad blocking, advanced tracking protection, and cross-device sync. Its mobile app has an in-built VPN that can be activated for a few hours or a day; short ads are required depending on the user's choice. On Android TV, Entertainment Mode reduces streaming ads but may not remove all of them, and the TV FAQ describes VPN as a feature to be released soon. JioSphere also offers news, shopping, sports updates, videos, games, and quizzes. Users can personalize the home screen and content feed, change language and browsing mode, add quick links, and pin score cards. The product page offers more than 20 Indian languages, while the TV FAQ specifies 8+ regional languages for its TV browser. Downloads are sorted by file type, and TV users can choose Google, Bing, or Yahoo search.
