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

    I have yet to find one that isn’t lacking basic features like being about to put the device to sleep.

      I’ve been using Sideload Channel Launcher since they started putting ads on the home screen. It’s a simple clean layout that is easy to set up and get everything you want on it. It even has a icon you can add for power settings.

      You can block ads on the NVIDIA shield launcher using Pihole of adguard DNS. Just need to go into settings for your wifi network on your shield, change dns1 and dns2, then reset the home app. It won’t be able to download new ads, so the banner on the home page will stay the default ad for several of Google’s own apps like play store and YouTube or whatever.

      I too was not able to find a third party launcher that looked as nice as the original.
