YT blocking ad blockers.

Amazon Fire TV is increasing ads and is now to the point ''native ads are ''right at the top of the FIre TV's home screen'' and take ''up half the screen.''
I guess for the TV people have to use something like AdGuard DNS.

As to slow moving 3D, I find that games/demos written in DB Classic were still okay for me, and IIRC, those were limited to 40 FPS by default? For me, 1st person, 3rd person doesn't matter it is more the speed. I am fine with the old Croc or Crash Ba*snip*

Media Player Suggestions?

I need some suggestions for a media player for Windows. It needs to:
1. Be Free and no ads
2. Support .TS files

5. Be as compact as possible
I have been using Media Player Lite, but it does not support H.265. O*snip*
