Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.

This is a new kind of scammer
I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

How can I find out which applications are communicating back to servers and stop them from doing so?
A quick and dirty solution is just using something likehBlock, that will block most unnecessary traffic (malware from Google, Meta, Microsoft, and generic advertising companies, etc.)

Are there any actual perks to using those large consolidated lists as opposed to the smaller lists they are made from?
An Australian got an error with their postal tracking app, compare Hagezi's "OK we'll whitelist it so your app doesn't break" vs hblock's "Meh, go report to the source list maintainer".

New blocklist added: hBlock
Yeah, definitely going to skip that list. Compare how Hagezi and hblock deal with the exact same issue, still not going to adopt it because the hype turns me off, but at least I prefer "ok, we make sure the site you visit doesn't break" compared to dismissive "oh it's a tracker so it's your fault".
