You can use the voice command to also install Chrome. The only issue is you have to open it every time with the voice command, because it's not an official Android TV app.

Is there any way to install an ad blocker on the Mi box, in particular so I don't see ads on YouTube?

Download tv app repo from the play store

It allows u to create an icon on the homepage for non tv apps

Now seems a good time to start a thread for 'must have' apps you have installed on your Mi. Add a one liner to say what it does.
