[Fire TV General] Ludacrisvp:
mine is USA from 5.0.3.1 ... it is a bit different than yours.

What ads were removed that you noticed?

I too adjusted the ads_types line like yours but I'm not sure anything is different.

I changed the settings then rebooted, it seems that after reboot the changes are gone. :-/

I figured that reboot would be needed to be effective.

This is unmodified / pristine:
