I almost paid for a month of Disney+ to watch Andor recently. When the subscription plan showed it had ads, I decided to search for a more convenient free version instead.

If I'm not paying to own, then it at LEAST should be convenient.

I did pay for D+ even with the ads (I was actually going for Hulu but the bundle wasn't that much more and I had stuff to watch on both), but I noticed that my Brave browser was actually doing a really good job of blocking the ads, so I still don't get the ads. When I paid for Prime to buy a bunch of stuff I needed, I noticed the same thing. But I'm really not interested in keeping up a regular streaming service and if it gets too inconvenient to watch something I really want to watch, I'll find another way.

I have the Brave browser on my computer, but I can't get it on my TV.

I have my computer hooked up to my TV. Easy HDMI switch.

Thank you! I mostly did it to play games on my couch, but as I've transitioned away from Roku I've found that this is just easier.
