People complaining about ads? Android TV has that junk now, too, unfortunately.

Roku Ultra 4K is best as a simple, familiar streaming box with a clean interface, strong app support, and useful extras like multiview for Fubo and a backlit USB-C remote. It also stays responsive better than many smart TV apps, and the remote battery level can be checked in settings or by voice command. The main complaints are slower hardware than competing Onn boxes, occasional Wi-Fi or sound dropouts, and a 100 Mbps Ethernet port that can make full 4K loads feel sluggish. It is a solid fit if you want Roku's easy interface more than raw speed.
The remote supports USB-C charging and the settings menu can show the remote battery percentage.
The Roku Ultra can deliver a dead-simple streaming experience with a user-friendly interface.
The device can support Fubo multiview for watching multiple sports events on compatible Roku models.
The Roku Ultra can stay responsive over time compared with smart TV apps that slow down and become unresponsive.
The Roku Ultra can disconnect from Wi-Fi frequently even when it is close to the router.
The network port and Wi-Fi throughput limits can slow full 4K streaming load times compared with a gigabit computer.
The sound can cut out and require restarting about every two days, even if updates may improve it.
The Roku Ultra may not include the rechargeable Pro 2nd gen remote with a headphone jack, based on what the included accessories indicate.

1) Google TV allows easy sideloading of apps: smarttube, 1pix media, and many more
2) Can customize home screen so there are NO ads or clutter (I use the projectivy launcher)
3) Response time and app loading time seems snappier (esp vs older Roku sticks!)
4) I can use BT earbuds vs wired plugged into the remote
There are many more reasons, but my love for and loyalty towards Roku is fading.

I have this. The Walmart Onn Pro boxes are light years faster. it also constantly disconnect from wifi even though it roughly 30' from the router. Roku has a very user friendly UI, but beyond that I can no longer recommend them as there's far better options for less money.
Agreed. Roku has gone down hill. Ads, slow hardware, cheap remotes, etc. Get Onn Pro and make it like you want.
Getting tired of ads everywhere, all the time. My FireTV has tons of ads, and Roku used to be good with specific locations, but lately they've been doing a lot more. I have a pi-hole to boot.

I replaced the stock Google TV launcher with the free Projectivy launcher which is very customizable. My home screen is so clean. There are great tutorials out there.
