Replace newer android home with older, ad free version
a cleaner way to get the old android tv launcher back is to install leanback on fire, which is the pre-android 9 launcher forked & changed to build as a user app. after that just run adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher & reboot to fully disable the default launcher.

YouTube to start blocking third-party apps that don't show ads
Can't recommend SmartTube enough: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
Includes crowdsourced sponsor block as well. The day YouTube goes the Twitch route and starts embedding ads is the day I stop using it. Literally unwatchable at this point without adblocking.
