What is your tracker stats?

This is warden, just a better ui for exodus.
The app is over 2 years old but i feels like its worth a try

Warden: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.aurora.warden

This app wants root and despite being open source according to that link, isnt in the official F-Droid repo. I'm skeptical about trusting it.
- Warden is on Izzydroid, alternative fdroid repository
  It wants root so it can disable trackers
  
  It's reasonable for an app like this to need root, but also reasonable for everyone to ask for third-party verification of anything they're granting administrative access to their devices.
  Izzydroid's security policy appears to be primarily based around automated scans that enumerate badness, and has far fewer users than the official F-Droid repository making it less likely that problems will be noticed, reported, and acted on.
  Is there more reputation information about this app available?
You can also try exodus and is more relevant
There are other apps on F-Droid that use Exodus that do sort of the same. At least they do not ask for root.
Don't have any stats but I do use tracker control. Having a Xiaomi tablet, I like that I can also extend functionality to system processes as well (at my own risk obviously).
Tor, metamask, two gcams(no network permissions), librera(i tried avoiding using it because of this in the past), and element, schildi, openweather
Just as a heads up, Exodus is highly misleading
