    His Android TV app Downloader, which combines a web browser with a file manager, was suspended by Google Play in May after several Israeli TV companies complained that the app could be used to load a pirate website.

    So … shouldn’t they be suspending all browsers, including Chrome?

            The TV firmware could be used to display pirated content, better shut that off
