Recommendations to install on Shield TV Pro (2019)
https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher Last update was 2 months ago, honestly I've never updated it, has been working fine since I installed it. So didn't find a reason to update.

Buying Shield TV for Kodi/Plex setup?
For the issue with ads on the launcher, I have used "Flauncher" which is a free and open source android tv launcher with no ads or anything. It's really clean. I honestly like it better than both the stock android TV launcher and the Nvidia shield TV launcher. In order to set it as the default launcher follow the steps here.

AndroidTV OS customization - ad blocking?
Change the launcher (e.g. https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher) and set up a DNS based ad blocker on your network (e.g. PiHole) or maybe AdAway on your device itself, though the cleanest install of that requires root access.

Alternate launcher with external storage
I installed Flauncher on my CCWGTV and used the instructions here to set it to my default launcher. It was working well until I got a USB hub to add external storage.

Chromecast with Google TV Launcher
One thing I really like about FLauncher is that it's actively maintained and the developer really tunes in to user suggestions. Here's his GitLab page: https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher . If you scroll down on that page, you'll see his description of methods 1 and 2 above. You can also look at the Issues page where users make suggestions.

Could Google remove the ability to disable stock launcher? Would they?
Another thing I like about FLauncher: It's well maintained and the developer is responsive to user comments. See: https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher

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.
