my apologies for the long screenshot. i had purchased adguard's vpn service for five years since its primary adguard service is well know in the iapple ecosystem.

on android, though, their app appears to send data to a lot of third-parties. has it always been this compromised? am i a fool to go for their vpn services as well?

i dont know why it'sa at such a low resolution here. it's fine on my phone.

here, ill try uploading a fresh non-stretched single-screen screenshot to see if the size was the issue.

(i don't know how it will turn out myself until after i post it.)
