Amazon Firestick has recently gone through security updates, sideloading changes, and privacy setting resets — leading many people to believe Fire TV is getting worse. Some viewers even think I’ve quit Firestick entirely.

That’s not true.

In this video, I explain what actually changed on Fire TV, who is affected by the recent Firestick updates, and whether Firestick is still worth using in 2026 — especially for UK users.

Yes, Amazon tightened security.
Yes, certain sideloaded apps were blocked.
Yes, developer options and privacy settings have been adjusted.

But reporting Fire TV changes is not the same as being against Firestick.

I still use a Fire TV Cube as my main streaming device.
I still install Kodi.
I still test updates.

This video covers:

• What changed in recent Firestick updates
• Why some users are frustrated
• Whether Firestick is still worth buying
• Who should consider alternatives like NVIDIA Shield or Onn 4K
• And why I’m not “leaving” Fire TV

If you use Firestick in the UK or US, this will help you decide calmly — not emotionally.

Protect Your Streaming Privacy

Regardless of what device you use — Firestick, Shield, Onn, or anything else — protecting your connection matters.

Personally, I use NordVPN on my Fire TV devices because it’s fast, reliable, and works properly with UK streaming services. It’s something I genuinely use in my own setup.
