I’m not sure it does , however you could just change DNS to DNS.adguard.com for that :)
I like that they don’t foce apps on me , I’d rather install what I need myself. F-droid is not the best app as I see it. I use neo store so do not want extra bloat.
Regarding Firefox , you are either running chrome/vanadium or chrome/vanadium plus Firefox. Since webview. So what you have with Firefox is at best the in use browser features. Open a link in an app and you still use the webview. Firefox on android has it issues as well (sandboxing) . So 1+1 = 2 issues. Using a VPN / DNS with adblock makes ublock unnecessary.
I use GOS so built in firewall for just denying network permission, but there is also fake-VPN based ones that don’t require root.
Yea , I kind of just didn’t get into his rantings. GOS is still leagues ahead of anything else. Calyx comes in second. So shutter sound was something so bad you had to install open camera? And is no longer an issue. Just as that troubled troublesome dude. I really don’t give that much thought to stuff that doesn’t involve the actual OS. Rossman also likes the OS , you can have those things separated you know? The only time I had contact with micay was in the matrix chat , were I told him more or less to fuck off with his attitude regarding my questions so no I’m not a fan exactly.
I found some good stuff there :)
List made using List My Apps Plus signal FOSS , several VPN apps etc…
No ,it’s just that the client app is old , targeting android 5. Good if you are using an old phone. But not so good if you are using a new. Higher SDK have tighter checks and limits. But a minor issue, I still recommend using one of the newer ones. Droidify or neostore. Also I think I read somewhere there is work going on to update the F-droid one as well. Edit read up on the article and yea it makes a good point on the SDK level. But yea a minor thing imo. Edit2 apparently it’s android 7
DNS based exist such as DNS.adguard.com . But I use a good VPN with their own blocklists. No need for extra stuff.
So based on the issues above , and since I’m going the way of static websites , I will skip cloudflare.
The technical VPN/TOR issues are just a toggle on cloudflare. Not sure what default is though.
But ideologically I guess step away from them based on their monolithic influence. I guess any options for a proper WAF is paying or selfhosting. Neither in my interest . But correct headers and security setting should be enough.
Lineage does not have any special privacy features besides not having gapps. You can use Microg for a balance between privacy and convenience.
Use aurora store and don’t login with any account. You will need the lineage for microg version or root to get it working
