Got to love Singin’ in the Rain!

Same! LOL

It blocks in line ads and trackers, that’s why I have been using it.

I do turn off all the rewards and other BS in the browser, but I will look into Firefox and uBlock. Thank you.

I have been using Brave as my browser for years, I have never once seen an ad on YouTube. Nor have I ever had any of the issues that have been reported with people using ad blockers.

Great information, thank you.

Too bad we can’t root our Alexa equipment and use them.

Thank you so much for your detailed answer. This is going to be something I take a real look at.

Is there good app support for Home Assistant? Like a one stop shop or is it spread over the apps of the various pieces of equipment?

Are you using microphones or is it entirely app based? And if so what microphones are you using?

I guess it would be too easy to just have Plug and Play option. 🤷 I am technically inclined but I don’t want to spend a ton of time recreating the wheel.

I create a new alias account on my email server for each new account. That way when I am done with them I can just delete it and never get their spam ever.

Have Boost block every third post, that would probably get most of it. /s
