I don’t have the resources to switch to a more secure streaming device yet (I’m gonna build one with mini PC running LibreELEC with Kodi hopefully).

It is working great from what I tell! Even removed the ads from my Roku TV home pages lol! I’m sure some stuff is getting through, but at least it’s minimal.
