Kodi on FireStick & Chromecast, etc
There are things like https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX but you’ll have to look for a solution tailored towards your generation of Firestick and OS since Amazon likes to fiddle around with things and make users’ lifes more difficult instead of easier.

I get the SAME damn recommendations all the time
I use FTVLaunchX and ATV Launcher Pro on my Android TV device. Just install those two apps and enable the accessibility service for LaunchX.

Nvidia shield vs amazon fire tv stick
Agreed, I have a few Fire Sticks and I've had to disable autoupdates on them because Amazon proactively targets apps that customize functionality, eg. https://github.com/codefaktor/FTVLaunchX/issues/4

uBlock Origin 1.48.* announcement thread
I already managed to install uBlock Origin on firefox-tv after it was sideloaded on my Fire TV Cube, but apparently it lacked write permissions, so the extension did not save any changes or blocking lists.

is there a reason firefox is not available on the play store for Shield?
mozilla discontinued it. firefox tv hasn't been supported since april 30th 2021 & it's repo is archived. you can sideload the apk, but given that it hasn't had any updates, security or otherwise since then I'd recommend instead just moving on to another browser. one I use now is tv bro, its ugly imo but it works well & has the best functionality out of android tv browsers atm. also unlike the other spammy tv browsers has no ads or tracking
