  I personally also hate trackers and adds. There's tracker control which blocks trackers by offering a fake VPN, it works pretty well for me. I also use Firefox as my main browser with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

  If you're on Android, I highly suggest you to use the ultimate tracking protection tool developed by a team from Oxford, TrackerControl. It's completely open source and automatically stops all apps from calling any tracking service. Heck you can even cut off internet access for apps like GBoard to be more on the safe side.

  On that note, there's an open source app developed by a team from Oxford called TrackerControl that does just that but on the device itself. Perhaps a better solution for those who don't have a Pi or a server that runs 24/7. Best part, you can selectively disable internet access for certain apps, even system ones, which is not possible for a DNS based blocker.

• Samsung Keyboard and original Swype + Dragon Keyboard... how secure are these?

  About privacy: remove internet from this app, and it can't (directly at least) phone home. To test privacy while leaving them internet access, you'll need to do packet capture: https://trackercontrol.org 's app is pretty good at this. The more thorough option is to setup Wireshark on a laptop and connect your phone to that laptop's internet.

  Pretty much - and there's a nice app developed by an Oxford student that does this for Android: https://trackercontrol.org

  It works very well, I highly recommend it.

  Many apps still use Google trackers and analytics tools. You can give them a hard time by using tracker control.
