I still have my Chromecast. I love it. It's so easy to use and fast. I really only watch streaming and don't want to spend a lot of money on a new smart TV when my old TV still works. I have a small fire TV and it sucks, Amazon makes them cheap and it often crashes trying to load streaming services, never had an issue with the $30 Chromecast.

I use Apple TV at home and had my Chromecast with me when travelling for a decade now. Brave little thing.

And yes, Fire TV sucks monkey balls. It either dies immediately or gets problems after a few weeks.
