I think it's better since it allows more granular control. For instance, if you have the Wikipedia app you can block

intake-analytics.wikimedia.org

and still use the site normally. You have to decide if that's right for you.

Battery usage is 4.2% on my device.

Edit: formatting

As someone else said you probably want RethinkDNS.

If you want to get away from Simple Mobile Tools (and you should, they sold out to an ad company) you should look at the fork here https://github.com/FossifyOrg they are on f-droid

Their privacy policy says this

5.2. Do Not Track

Zen Browser automatically honors "Do Not Track" requests by default. We ensure that no tracking of your activity occurs, in compliance with this setting

DNT is voluntary, no one respects it, it makes you stand out, and is a known tracking vector.

Are you using Gbord? Changing your keyboard app is easy and may be painless depending on how you type. I like Heliboard, there are many others though https://f-droid.org/packages/helium314.keyboard/

You can also use something like RethinkDNS https://f-droid.org/packages/com.celzero.bravedns/ and block connections to Google (or anywhere else)

Those would be a start

It has some of the proprietary stuff and telemetry removed

Ansett is in receivership?

Then it checks to see if your email is already registered with them. Then you get a popup that says 'check your email' and presumably links back to it. This happens for new and existing addresses.

Unsurprisingly 'getfucked@google(.)com' was already taken.

Firefox with uBO worked fine, that signup element is blocked, and you aren't prevented from reading the page.

Of course not. Right click

That's cold

Yes it is https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/

Have you tried https://localsend.org/

Yes that works, and you can also use something like URLCheck and just drop that path

Yeah, I can't undo it either.

Ranger told them a storm was forecast

'Experienced hiker' but her boots were new

That's what I use an old phone for. In the kitchen it's a timer, notepad, and music player. I read the news on it while having coffee.

I could do that all on my main phone of course but if I'm cooking or having coffee my main phone is both off and elsewhere. I don't like to be disturbed.

Oh, and I use it to test apps before they go on my main phone.

The best part is that some people said the vouchers had been canceled.

On Wednesday, some of the people who posted about the gift card said that when they went to redeem the offer, they got an error message saying the voucher had been canceled. When TechCrunch checked the voucher, the Uber Eats page provided an error message that said the gift card “has been canceled by the issuing party and is no longer valid.”

Searx will show Lemmy results, at least on some Searx instances.
