Title.

There's also a version on the Play Store, but you should definitely get the F-Droid version. It's the one with the full features enabled.

It lets you fully block some apps' access to the internet, including system apps. Depending on your phone manufacturer, like Xiaomi and Samsung, they can be extremely invasive and show ads on your stock apps.

I'm guessing if I'm already using adguard I don't need this, right?

Yeah, I think so. I'm also using AdGuard.

According to AdGuard it's blocked around 2,500 trackers and 24,000 requests just in the last 24hrs. Every app must be constantly connecting - staggering!
