Amazon has ensured I'm never buying another Fire TV Stick again

Amazon's decision to switch from Fire OS to Vega OS on its Fire TV Sticks has removed the ability to sideload apps, making them less appealing to users who want more functionality. As a result, budget brand Onn's streaming sticks and boxes have become a more attractive option for those seeking affordable alternatives.
Amazon Fire TV Sticks were once a great value due to their affordability and versatility. However, Amazon's recent switch to Vega OS has eliminated the ability to sideload apps, a key feature that made them appealing to users. The loss of this functionality has made Onn's streaming sticks and boxes a more attractive option, as they still run on Android and allow sideloading. Onn's devices, such as the Onn 4K Pro, offer similar features to higher-end devices like Roku Ultra and Apple TV 4K at a lower price point. Amazon Fire TV Sticks are still suitable for basic streaming needs, but their limitations make Onn devices a better choice for those seeking more functionality. Onn has effectively taken over the budget market with its devices, offering a more versatile alternative to Amazon's Fire TV Sticks.
