   I'll either have root xor GrapheneOS, in case any suggestions depend on that. Which phone I buy depends on whether @GrapheneOS can be useful here

   Btw, DNS blocking (e.g. hosts file) isn't a good option because:

   - That can't be done per app, and some apps require access to Google APIs where others (like Signal) don't

   - I assume many trackers will just fall back to IP addresses since it's trivial to do

     Question for everyone: What do you use to limit the tracking of "forced" apps?

     - The train company sends my data to Tiktok (ticket needs to be shown in-app)
     - Signal to Google
     - TooGoodToGo to data brokers (can't order leftover food via their website anymore)
     - etc.

     How to block this?

     I'm hoping for a better alternative to TrackerControl since it's buggy (legit connections hang often) and makes that I can't ever use a VPN under any circumstance, but I'm at a loss for other options
