Comment on Can the Steam Deck/Machine also be used for streaming?

you can add various shortcuts of a browser pointing to a streaming service to your library, but depending on the service you might not be able to watch in HD.
a seperate android box would probably be the more comfortable option to access streaming services.

Thanks! My personal use case would mostly be YouTube (with adblock, maybe in browser or in separate app), some German TV stations, and some stuff from an external drive.
Maybe I’ll try it with SteamOS first and get a separate box if it’s not sufficient. But the question could also be relevant to other people with other needs, too.

I added fire fox as a separate non steam app and it works fine, browser extensions and all.

in that case the browser short cuts should work fine, atleast ard and zdf don’t care about your os and browser, just configure the shortcuts so it launches in full screen and setup a controller profile to use it a controller as mouse and a way to bring up the virtual keyboard.
