Otherwise, to still be able to benefit from your router setup, you will have to setup a VPN server on your home that uses your router's DNS server and use that VPN on your phone. There might be more options.</p>
Dr John A Stevenson<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@Kurt" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Kurt</span></a></span> I've done that now. Deleted/disabled all the Samsung and Google (I didn't know about adb uninstall). Installed <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/trackercontrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trackercontrol</span></a> to block what I couldn't remove (h/t <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://en.osm.town/@mdione" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>mdione</span></a></span>). Added F-Droid (Aurora store is also new to me) for VLC, GCompris, OSMAnd. I got APKs for Scratch, Scratch Jr and Audible (with Internet blocked except for when adding books).</p><p>Performance seems fine. I'd have liked the purity of LineageOS but this will do.</p>

It can make many apps break, which is the point, and some times making them work takes some trial and errror.</p>

Jesus Christ. Something has happened so that #TrackerControl is getting turned off all the time, for seemingly no reason. I hate it so much, I feel insecure. Does anyone know what this could be, and how to fix it? I recently installed Snapchat, could that be it?

@StartpageSearch #DuckDuckGo and @simplelogin Email aliases are crazy powerfull
@protonmail the *new* Forward import from Gmail is so good, you can make your contacts switch to your new address with out them even noticing ;D
Any DNS based tracker blocking including #TrackerControl, #DuckDuckGo #NextDNS or PiHole

And just to spite Reddit Infinity for reddit

Also I just heard a talk about VoIP numbers and MySudo (basically phone number aliases and more) but didn't have time to look in to it yet.

@sebsauvage Point négatif: le système est tellement lourd que cela fait sauter l'antivirus, #trackercontrol , #blabber, et quoi sait d'autre, si #osmand est trop chargé, comme pour la MAJ de plusieurs giga de carte.

.... Et le côté noir reste l'absence d'intégration du trafic : ni trafic radio intégré, ni collecte de données qui permettent un calcul des embouteillages.

J'ai adapté les solution incomplète de trafficpixel.tk/trafficSql/int et introduit

github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/is mais sans résolution.

Je découvre #TrackerControl, une application qui permet de lister et bloquer les pisteurs sur Android: trackercontrol.org/

Ça a l'air très sympa, et ça ne demande pas d'accès root, car ça utilise la fonction VPN.
Mais comme ça serait utile de pouvoir utiliser une VPN avec ça (dont d'autres applis de blocage type #Blockada), ça existe l'équivalent mais en root ?

TrackerControl for AndroidTrackerControl for AndroidTrackerControl allows you to monitor and control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in mobile apps about user behaviour (tracking).
