Kodi is the popular freeware media center program available in the market. It not only lets users stream movies, but its third-party add-ons offer access to content which you think never existed. Things like live broadcasts of TV channels, sports, foreign films and more are all available on Kodi.

Installing Kodi add-ons means entering the source of the repository into the program. Kodi Repos are safe to use (in most cases), but sometimes having lots of repos can slow down the performance of the Kodi.

Kodi is legal to download and use, but some of its add-ons are accused of illegally offering copyrighted material. Due to this reason, there might be users who want to uninstall Kodi Repos.
