Had a firestick for 4 years, switched to Roku a couple weeks ago and I wish I did years ago
I can boot up the Roku, open Plex, and start a video stream without ever seeing an ad
I have a TCL Roku TV, and it has ads. I always thought that would be the same on any Roku device, but I guess not?
I do have ad blocking at the DNS level setup on my router
But, the Firestick showed ads regardless of that, so...
Lots of 'smart' devices have hard coded DNS IPs. Build an OPNsense box Forward all port 53 requests to your pihole ? Profit
This is the way.
Doing something similar on the Chromecast, turn on, open stremio and play away
