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

You

Have made my day, most likely my week. Ads aside, I friggin HATE the Chromecast UI

Now, let's pretend that I'm 5 yrs old. How do I get this to. Be the default launcher? I've already combed through the settings options and can't seem to figure it out...

Settings -> Projectivy Launcher Settings -> General -> Override current launcher

Plus, allowing it in accessibility options

Thanks! I needed to go back to the accessibility settings 👍🏻

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

This is incredible, I've been annoyed at the home screen ads for years but I never thought to look at the chromecast app store. Super easy to set up and it looks really clean, thanks for the recommendation!

FLauncher is another great option — and open source!

Last commit is 11 months old. That's a lot in dog years.
