Firestick is one of the most popular streaming devices due to its affordable price and jailbreaking abilities. But in recent updates, users are dissatisfied with the increasing rate of advertisements. Also, there was an update in which Amazon disabled users using custom launchers. This is where Launch on Boot comes into play. Launch on Boot is an app that opens a pre-selected app by the user while the device boots up. It also allows you to use custom launchers like Wolf Launcher. You can sideload Launch on Boot to Firestick using third-party apps.
How to Install Launch on Boot on Firestick
To sideload the Launch on Boot app on Firestick, you can use the Downloader or ES File Explorer app. Here is the guide to installing Launch on Boot on Firestick.
Tip-off !!
Streaming without a VPN exposes your IP address, making you vulnerable to privacy breaches and hacker attacks. Without encryption, your online activities are more susceptible to monitoring by ISPs, snoopers, and the government. Lastly, accessing geo-restricted content may be impossible without a VPN, limiting your entertainment options. Hence, it is recommended to use a VPN.
Of all the available VPNs, I recommend NordVPN if you ever want to watch the desired movies, TV shows, or sports events on your Firestick without risking your privacy. NordVPN is the fastest and best VPN service provider with global coverage. You can now avail yourself of the New Year's deal of 67% off + 3 Months Extra of NordVPN to stay anonymous.
With NordVPN on Firestick, your internet traffic gets encrypted, so your IP and identity stay anonymous. You can stream the desired content while staying away from the government and other online intruders.
