Fwiw, I have four generations of Chromecast and they all still work. The only real difference between “Chromecast with Google TV” and the new “Streamer” is that it doesn’t have the attached HDMI cable, but has an Ethernet port on it, so I consider it a push. It’s about twice as big but still pretty small.

It’s a “box” instead of a dongle now. Called TV Streamer. Essentially the same thing.

It’s also absolutely terrible. I got one after my Chromecast broke and hate it so much

It’s honestly grown on me. It’s a way better smart TV experience than what the TV offers. And it lets me ban the TV from the WIFI so it can’t update and show random ads.
