i love the amazon fire stick, i think its much better than the chromecast because it does not require any other devices to use, but at the same time the chromecast you can select whatever you want to watch with your phone then press a single button to cast to tv, so id go for whichever experience seems better for you

watch movies inline from WHERE? Amazon, Netflix or any of the other legal sources? If Amazon the buy a Fire TV, they are like the only way to get Amazon Instant video without jumping through all kinds of hoops and having to deal with crap quality.

Chromecast is the best. Get CC2, it has AC dual-band so when mum turns on the microwave your internet doesn't drop lmao

 

you open supported apps when connected to a wifi network, the icon pops up and bam its on the tv

With  chromecast  i can search browser just like on PC right? I won't be using any legal sites like amazon to watch

Chromecast is garbage, it requires the use of another device to send it a "signal", most other devices out there can run Kodi, which I will leave you to do your own research on as beyond the LEGAL uses of Kodi there are others that we won't discuss here as it is against site rules to discuss pirating content.

firestick is great for everything. twitch, netflix, youtube, even kodi with a little technical know-how, and kodi is the undisputed way to watch illegal content

you can put Kodi on the Fire Stick, you can't do that with chromecast. We also CAN'T DISCUSS PIRATING MOVIES AND TV SHOWS, it is AGAINST SITE RULES.

use GOOGLE and SEARCH what Kodi is and what it can do, we can't discuss the topic of stealing movies and TV shows as that is ILLEGAL and AGAINST site rules, PLEASE stop asking us how. In the time you spend asking us you could have the answer.

yes, then use google to learn how to do what you want to do.

What about https://www.amazon.de/dp/B015JCM8WG/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

 

Can that Stream from my Phone to TV ?

yes, the Shield TV has casting support, although it doesn't support as much casting as a real Chromecast, like for example a service here in the USA called Playstation Vue supports casting but only works with actual chromecast devices, not devices that have "built-in" chromecasts. I have both a Shield TV and a Fire TV for what you want to do go with the cheaper option.
