Firesticks are also full of ads and tracking. It'd be more ideal to use something like a Raspberry Pi or building an Android TV box instead as a media client.
I can recommend the Apple TV. Even the android TV ones have ads now (looking at you shield tv!).
I more meant along the lines of building an HTPC then putting Android on it, so that wouldn't have ads. But yeah an Apple TV is definitely an easier plug-and-play solution. I am more of a DIY type of person.
This is the answer, dongle love all the way!
