I miss when Network Access was an authorisation you could restrict to some apps. (lemmy.world)

Yes you can monitor which app eats what, and probably circumvent this with a vpn layer, but sometimes I just wish I would be able to pause an app's access to the net

In my case it was soundcore's app (no, openscq30 didn't work), so it had a need for network access to update the firmware, for example, I just didn't want to give it at the moment. As for being poorly made, also not exactly: as I've mentioned, android gives this permission by default, and it's reasonable to assume it stays so. Graphene basically "breaks userspace" here.
