For Manga/Comics/Webtoons/Etc.: Tachidesk on desktop Tachiyomi on mobile.
These are both fantastic and allow you to grab manga, comics, etc. from pretty much every site you can think of to have it all in one place.
For Movies/TV/Anime: Kodi + Debrid + Arctic Horizon 2/TMDbHelper + Fen + Otaku (resources: 1, 2; screenshots: album)
I love this. I can watch literally anything I want as if it was a netflix-like service, and don’t have to use a VPN. Can even throw this on a shield/chromecast/firestick.
edit: tachidesk doesn’t have a fit-to-page feature, but you can just use stylus with this: img{ height:100vh!important; /* fit height of screen */ min-width:0!important; /* also needed for fit height */ }
edit 2: Also, not really piracy per se, but Syncplay is great for watching downloaded content with friends.
I haven’t ever tried it so unfortunately I can’t directly compare. I’ve been using kodi + debrid for years though with zero issues, and since it served my needs perfectly I haven’t tried anything new since. I even set it up on a chromecast for my tech illiterate dad, and he’s been cable/stream service free since.
Banged my head against Tachidesk for a bit tonight, I do not see how to import sources, even a local one, I guess there is more hidden config stuff to do.
You need to install extensions before you can use the source section to perform a search. Once you’ve done that, typing something into the search field under sources will search through all the extensions you have installed.

Holy crap, I downloaded Tachiyomi cause of you and I’m absolutely loving it already. Makes reading all my manhwas on my phone so much easier.
Have you tried stremio + real debrid, I’ve been using that and wanted to see if there’s any benefits to switching to kodi.
Kodi is more customizable and you can make its interface similar to streaming apps, otherwise the result is the same

They have an entire guide on that.
