This is the one that doesn't allow you to side load apps... Do not buy this! Get the Fire TV Cube instead. Or find the Onn 4k devices in Walmart.

The Fire TV 4K Max is half the price of the Cube, and is a solid choice too. For the price, I'd get the 4K Max if someone is looking at a Fire TV, plus with it being the stick, it can tuck behind a TV or be taken with you for travel easier than the Cube or even the Onn.

The 4k stick is often little more than this on sale and worth it for the faster processor and more RAM for a quicker navigation of menus and apps etc

you could trade this in on a new cube for 20% off of the now $90 cube ($18).. I traded in a old gen1 stick stuck in a bootloop just a few days ago. That gets it down close to the new ONN box prices.

I swore I would never again buy a fire os device, but I had to atleast try one. Now the only fire devices I run are 2nd and 3rd gen cubes.. It is snappy and that real usb A port is nice to have but then again the ONN top end ONN boxes already had that. I would probably NOT recomend a cube or any fire device, but I do have a recast for local OTA, so there that reason..

Any possibility the remote will work with "legacy" Fire Sticks?

I had a free upgrade for this one and don't like it. If I hit home to get out of an app, audio keeps playing. I've looked all in my settings but cannot find anything to change this annoying feature.

For what it's worth, the 4k max still CURRENTLY allows sideloading which I would highly recommend. That said, there's no guarantee they won't disable it in the near future... :-(

These things need an "Apps Only" mode like GoogleTV has.

These sticks would be fine if not for all the spam/ads thrown in your face.

But with amazon, they'd probably charge you for an app-only mode, like how they charge for ad-free mode on their Kindles.

That's usually the app developer's issue for not keeping up with OS changes/updates. Xumo and Roku Channel are 2 very well known ones that does that crap. They keep their code up for phones and tablets, but dont keep it up for TV.

Try this: Go to Settings > Preferences > Featured Content. Set both Allow Video Autoplay and Allow Audio Autoplay to OFF. (Instructions might be off a little since Amazon likes to keep changing things around, but these should be in your settings somewhere.)

But the fire tv 4k max doesn't allow side loading?
