Yeah, because everyone is asking for that. They will force ads into everything they can, because Google is an Ad company.

No ads. Fast box. All the apps I need.

Google is an advertising company. Apple is a hardware/software company. They have very different incentives from one another. Neither are my friend, but one’s entire business model runs on psychological manipulation, the other sells iPhones.

I like that even if Google does something I don't like I can install my own launcher. Or buy a different device, apple is apple and you better be happy with what they want you to want.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Apple uses a ton of psychological manipulation in order to sell those phones.

We all just learned about the green text bubble thing. It was hilariously infantile

In this case, more than Google apparently.

I wish Kodi had a more intuitive UI and support for Netflix, etc. We need an option powered by the people, for the people.
