Google bid farewell to their Chromecast brand with the introduction of its successor, the Google TV Streamer, marking the end of an 11-year era of innovative streaming devices. The first-generation Chromecast, launched in 2013, revolutionized the market by offering an affordable, mobile-controlled streaming stick in a time when other options were significantly more expensive. Over the years, Google continued to iterate on the Chromecast, introducing new features and models to keep up with competitors. Now, the transition to the Google TV Streamer represents a new chapter in Google’s streaming device lineup. Despite the end of the Chromecast era, old devices will still be available for purchase with continued support and security updates from the company.
