Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    Thank you for that site. Very useful.

    I haven’t seen that feature on the aurora store, but I probably just missed it.

    I expect free apps to have tracking, but if it’s something like an app launcher that needs so many permissions and is running all the time… That’s just horrific

        As someone who likewise freaked out when I got a pihole setup and 30% or more of requests were blocked, the early days are normally just the same requests endlessly retrying. So while it blocked 11k, if they weren’t blocked it would probably only be a few hundred. Probably poor programming not covering the fact it can be blocked.

        Still better to block, though.
