I like Netguard, enable settings, advanced, manage system apps, filtering and blocking hosts. Go to settings backup - put a hosts url (say from: GitHub - StevenBlack/hosts: 🔒 Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. Optionally pick extensions for porn, social media, and other categories. 66 ) and press to download it. Extra fun, block internet access to apps you don’t want to :wink:
Wow, not sure how I missed this in the GrapheneOS FAQ which I’ve read parts of already recently. Thank you so much. Based on the information there, I came to the decision to configure AdGuard’s DNS-over-TLS server in the Private DNS option within GrapheneOS. Ad blocking seems to be working so far. Quad9’s DNS-over-TLS server also looks interesting, but it seems more focused on general malware rather than ad blocking.
Yes, FBI and the other agencies do have a lot of influece in everthing to do with gov’t/media.
Aaron Maté and Glenn Greenwald and some others report on FBI.
Matt Taibbi and twitter files also showed how social media companies and gov’t work together.
