    Roku is chocked full of ads too, and regularly sets the default for the “Select” button to open those ad sites or apps. Roku used to be great. It has now been completely enshittified.

      I mean, it could be worse. It could not work at all when put behind a pihole. I keep all my Roku devices in their own group and haven’t seen ads on them

        I have mine behind a Pihole too. It blocked all the ads at first but Roku seems to actively varying the ad servers and they’ve started showing up again. I haven’t had a chance to see if I can block them again.
