You don't need anything extra to block internet connections for applications. You can directly block them from the app information itself. I think what you've done so far is very good and sufficient for phone internal use. The important part now is the browser section, and I think you can handle that too.
I am aware of that feature, but I can't do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.
As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.
Am I being too paranoid? lmao
Mull is dead on performance and I think you're being very paranoid
Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.
And yeah, I feel like I'm nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I've minimized a LOT of data collection already.
Any good browser suggestion you have?
For daily use, Mull is not suitable.
