AppWarden VS bromite

Here's one you probably haven't heard about: Warden, by Aurora.

Solved : Using Warden atleast i can monitor spend time on this app with Nice UI :)

Then you can try every one of the indications and judge if they fit or harm your user experience. Avoiding big data botnet is a great start (Google, Facebook, Amazon), you can start to inspect your applications and their trackers with ClassyShark3xodus, Aurora Warden and TrackerControl. Then you might like to learn about your digital fingerprint with CoverYourTracks, TorZillaPrint and other testers, but the most important, always keep updated with privacy-related online content.

Hiya folks, I have a few questions about blocking trackers. I've been running under lineageos for quite some time with a (mostly disabled) microg. Occasionally I still find it tempting/useful/necessary to install apps with trackers and try/hope to mitigate the tracking functionality. For example, transportr, öffi, and osmand have been flakey lately (may just be my fault/environment) but I've temporarily installed moovit, citymapper, and transit, which have 6-17+ trackers each. Using Warden/App Manager (https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AppWarden https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager), you can block/disable most of the trackers. Using blocking hosts files (in adaway for example) you can block some of the tracker functionality. Using trackercontrol (proxy) you can try to see if you neutered all of the trackers. Questions: 1) Do Warden and AppManager duplicate their functionality? (can I just use one of them?) 2) Do I need to go to the trouble of sniffing traffic if I want to make sure all unwanted traffic/tracking/advertising 3) Does an app repo or tool exist that sanitizes popular apps (removes the tracking payloads)? (I'm aware of Izzy) 4) Should I be asking this elsewhere like xda? 5) There are severe limitations introduced when doing things this way. Is there a better combination of tools/methods you would recommend? I realize that, in this use case, even just my search data will be used for tracking/profiling purposes so it isn't a good example. But I'm curious for all apps, not just navigation apps... Cheers, and thanks!

There you go. It's a great app!

I'm not sure as I haven't done it. Maybe this link answers your questions: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AppWarden

Checked Redmorph with Warden not excited about the trackers embedded in it - particularly Google AdMob.

If you have root then you may want to check out Warden, it's made by the same people as Aurora Store/Droid/Services and allows you to disable trackers and loggers in apps

I also like Warden for insight on Trackers and Loggers.

Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Normally, I'd recommend Bromite as a lightweight Chromium-based browser with built-in adblocking, but the project appears to be asleep right now. It might be worth checking it in a few weeks, though.

Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Bromite hasn't been updated since December: https://github.com/bromite/bromite/releases
