I would like to see a basic browser to allow for direct download of apk such as ki2.

  Hi Andres,

  The Karoo doesn’t currently have a built-in browser, as this helps maintain system stability, security, and optimal performance. However, Hammerhead has verified that GitHub URLs work for sideloading. You can now sideload third-party Android apps on the Karoo using either an APK file or a URL linked to an APK file. We’ve taken your request for a built-in browser as a feature suggestion and shared it with our product team.

  @Andres , K3 has a built-in web browser. You don't even have to install it however you can. Turn on developer mode, in the applications menu you will find 'browser'. The Google page opens initially. You can search for what you want and download it. Unfortunately, there is no built-in file browser in K3, but I installed Files by Google. You can browse everything. But it is not an easier way to install extensions than via phone + CompanionApp. I just wanted to point out that the browser is there, and I guess not everyone in HH knows about it ;)
