minus-squarepirat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-28 months agoI solved this problem on my Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K by installing FLauncher, and setting it as the default launcher (on my own box as well as my parents’). LeanbackOnFire is another great option, but FLauncher has better customizability options, and that’s what I prefer. In this way, I haven’t seen a single system UI ad on my Android TV box for years. For ad-free YouTube, I’m using SmartTube. So far, it’s been amazing.
