The privacy invasions by the app have become egregious these days. We need an app-based firewall and we should be able to filter out which domain it can connect to.<p>I don't understand why should bank apps, online education app, games, etc send data to Facebook or google 24x7. It’s not just privacy but it also consumes consumers’ data which are generally expensive and consume battery too much.<p>Apparently, this may be the reason why Reddit, etc doesn’t even allow mobile browsers and forces you to use the app. The unfortunate thing is andriod is made by Google which has 0 incentive to fix this.<p>And the app duckduckgo etc spawns VPN which generally makes everything slow idk why. It also seem to consume too much battery that I had to remove it and just rely on piblock and hosts file based blocking.
The open-source TrackerControl does something similar.<p><a href="https://trackercontrol.org/" rel="nofollow">https://trackercontrol.org/</a><p>It's on F-Droid also.
