Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

    Yes, but you can’t change the default launcher in the settings. You have to configure the custom launcher to automatically launch everytime, which does require a some adb commands, if I recall correctly.

    Otherwise, setting it to apps mode is the only alternative. Aside from disabling ads, it does disable a few other useful features, but the trade-off is worth it.

    But honestly, now that AppleTV allows VPNs and proxy apps, I’ve mostly stopped using my Google TV boxes.
