My sister needs a streaming device but they all seem to be awful. The only one that seems somewhat decent is the Apple TV but that's too expensive. Out of the cheaper ones which one is the least worst? I'm currently leaning towards a Firestick because it seems marginally better than Roku and Chromecast have apparently been discontinued

You can buy a Google tv or nvidia shield and replace the AdWare default launcher for a very nice, ad-free experience

    I have an Nvidia Shield myself but tbh I'm not very impressed with it anymore. The 2 reasons I bought it were game stream and the lack of ads, both of which were ruined by the updates. I have replaced the launcher to remove the ads but considering the hardware is now 6 years old I don't think it's worth paying the extra. Google TV might be the best option if she's willing to spend that much but it is still on the pricier side
