Best VPN for FireStick that ACTUALLY has a working kill switch?

I'm using Surfshark right now and the 'Kill Switch' feature on the FireStick app is a total joke. If the VPN disconnects randomly, the stream just keeps playing on my raw ISP connection for a good 10 seconds before it realizes what happened. I got a warning letter from my ISP last month. What VPN app actually cuts the connection instantly on Fire OS?

Debloat Tool vs Background Apps and Process List app?

I'm trying to speed up my 2nd Gen 4K stick because navigating the TiviMate guide has gotten really laggy. I see people recommending ADB Debloat tools to remove Amazon bloatware, but others just say to use the 'Background Apps & Process List' to force close things. Which one actually works better for speeding up the UI?

Working Downloader Code for SmartTubeNext (Ad-free YouTube)?

Every single Downloader shortcode I try for SmartTube is either dead or redirects to some spammy APK mirror site. Can someone drop the actual current working code for the stable release? The ads on the default YouTube app are driving me insane.

FireStick updating automatically even though I turned it off?

I specifically went into the system settings and turned OFF 'Automatic Updates' because I like having my custom launcher (Wolf Launcher). Woke up this morning and the Fire OS had updated itself overnight and totally broke the custom launcher. How is it bypassing my settings?

FireStick 4K Max Storage Full Error - Is there any real fix besides factory reset?

It's been exactly 4 months since I bought the 4K Max and I'm already getting the 'Critically Low Storage' popup. I literally only have TiviMate, Downloader, Netflix, and SmartTube installed. I clear the cache every other day. Is the 8GB storage just totally unusable for IPTV or is there a background app eating all my space?
