The frog in boiling water is actually a complete myth. The frog jumps out when the water is too warm for it, it's not completely stupid. If the price is 'too hot' for you, jump out. Deezer (or any other streaming service) isn't forcing you to stay subscribed.

I feel like the natural progression here is to SquidBoard.

Firefox is very good compared to a lot of available browsers on Android. I have a bug where I can still interact with the tab switcher when I am in the app switcher. This is so annoying so I've had to switch to Brave.

Once I used Kodi with real-debrid, I don't want to go back to streaming torrents. It is much faster and much more reliable.

My setup is a Shield TV Pro using Kodi with the Jellyfin plugin then use Umbrella for anything I don't have locally. Gave my family a Firestick with Jellyfin and then they can request through Jellyseerr which then feeds through to *arr stack. I don't mind if I have to fix my end but I don't want to fix theirs.

For me, Plex or Jellyfin is great if I want to share my library with some friends or family, especially non-technical people. Kodi really needs tinkering and you need debrid subscriptions and requires more local maintenance. It's great for me but I wouldn't want to teach my family how to use Kodi and me having to fix it when it breaks.

It has a really easy to use User-Agent switcher so it can fake being a different torrent client. I'd love to use it however because of this it is a pretty much universally based client. It is possible to do on other clients however it isn't a dedicated menu in settings.

In addition, Squid-Board is great. It's the new FFShrine.

CGPeers are currently at a user cap, so it will be difficult to get an invite. I can confirm it does have the latest version of Plasticity.

I highly recommend crDroid. It's super customizable and has a good battery life / performance ratio.

In theory your account could be banned. I've used it on several accounts for going on 7 years and never been banned.

Using Koalageddon or CreamAPI should work fine as long as you don't have to download extra content manually. I've used it for years in multiplayer games and never had any issues.
