Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

All the more reason to fire up adb and replace that launcher before they take that ability away.

It’s relatively easy too! And you can install 3rd party YouTube apps with sponsor block +auto updates

What launcher do you recommend?

Flauncher for absolute minimalism, or projectivy for a more featured replacement.
