I would be using it to watch jellyfin mostly, but also youtube (I’ve seen that smartube looks good) and netflix.
Security and privacy are priorities.
My budget is up to 50 dollars.

I’ve seen this one onn Android TV amazon link, is it any good?

I’m new to the android tv box world so any help is appreciated.

OP said that privacy is a priority, so I guess that Chromecast is out of discussion

  It just runs Android TV, which is what OP is looking for.
