flauncher VS blokada

Instructions for two methods to Set FLauncher as default launcher are given at the website of the Flauncher app.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another thing I like about FLauncher: It's well maintained and the developer is responsive to user comments. See: https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher

FLauncher is indeed open-source: https://gitlab.com/etienn01/flauncher

You can read about Blokada here https://blokada.org/ and their v6 will also be in your App/Playstore but as said is subscription only. Lucky Android users can keep scrolling down until you see v5 offered which is completely free (not in Playstore btw). Unfortunately v5 isn't available for iOS. It works though, you won't see another, just a blackout timer that runs for 35 seconds (which does also mean you wait 35 seconds for the few ads that only runs for 15 seconds).

But it's due to game? Or is it Vivo thing? Can you try with https://blokada.org (blocking ads system-wide trough DNS)?

here try this https://blokada.org/

If you use the Firefox browser with the uBlock Origins extension, it blocks almost every ad. I use the Samsung Internet browser with Blokada 5 and it's a nearly ad-free experience.

blokada.org

For those on Android, download Blokada 5. It's a free open-source systemwide adblocker app. Don't download Blokada 6 on the Play Store. It's a subscription cloud-based app. Google doesn't allow VPN-based adblocker apps in the Play Store. If you have a Samsung phone, Blokada 5 is in the Galaxy Store.
