  • Use SmartCookieWeb - I personally found this very intuitave and easy to use, but if you know a better alternative, feel free to suggest it in the comments

  • AuroraStore

  • Switch from Google Play to f-droid, I personally like Aurora store, because it has apps from Google Play (bypassing Google's proprietary BS) AND is a good f-droid client.

  • rethink-app

    DNS over HTTPS / DNS over Tor / DNSCrypt client, WireGuard proxifier, firewall, and connection tracker for Android.

  • Get ReThinkDNS - has configurable blocklist OR NetGuard (essentially the same thing just works on older Androids) and block internet access for apps that clearly don't need it (eg, Calculator or Clock)
