The Vega OS shift is the biggest Firestick story of 2026. Anyone buying now needs to know: 4K Max = sideloading works, plain 4K = Vega = no APKs. This breakdown of which models still allow sideloading is essential reading before you buy.

Really interesting news - I had no idea Amazon was switching the new Fire TV Stick 4K over to Vega OS and that it would block sideloading entirely.
Good to know the older Fire OS models like the 4K Max still let you run Kodi, since that is the whole reason a lot of people buy these sticks. Thanks for the clear breakdown, saved me from buying the wrong model.

Fantastic! Highly recommended to try!
just installed on my Mac mini and loving it. A Photoshop user for decades this somehow feels smoother (and looks better) than PS. I had an image I was trying to enlarge with AI and could only get so far (free) and as my very first file in PhotoCraft, I thought I run a crazy experiment and scale the image 4x and WOW, fantastic job.
Better scale than I remember PS doing. Five stars. Thanks to the developer a million thanks.

Could be a game changer for many soon!
It's still a bit buggy with minor display issues in this version, but runs pretty quickly and smoothly (i.e. quicker and smoother than Photoshop). I've only done a few tests, but seems to handle large complex multi-layered files with ease. Keep an eye on each beta update as it gets closer to it's target V1.0 version.

a home like feeling. lovely and recommended best for all devices.
Brave just enabled it by default for stable users yesterday (1.97).
Not specified is chromeOS will be passively gaining decode capability too, and Webview (all droids), so apps and games displaying web content should be able to serve jpegxl images without needing any change).
Not directly related, but for reading jxl images on android, recommended is either Fossify Gallery (no animation) or Refra (full support, handy features - grapheneOS picked it as its gallery).

FxSound is a good tool, however, when FxSound is enabled, there is a slight audio delay in online audio.
Hi! Thanks for creating this list, and I have a small question: why do the channels I used to watch suddenly become unavailable or fail to load? I can no longer watch the shows/channels I use to tune in.
GRACIAS, MUY BUENA
Fast, easy to use.

For old computers, use WebP codec instead (viewer only). Tested on windows 7 x86 and all fine.
