theres a bunch of customizastion apps (icon packs, launchers etc.) that look really cool but lowkey collect my data, but if I just turn off the apps network permissons (app info, mobile data usage, and then set allow network access to off) do I still need to worry about data collection? thank
Will these connections show up in the network logs? If so, then one can at least know if connections ate bring made and try to block it. I’d appreciate it if anyone could explain .
It will show up as coming from firefox. When you run the command with the browser already running, it tells the original browser process to open the tab, then exits. The restricted process never does any network I/O by itself.
You would have to know in advance all the domains the malicious program would access and block them, so realistically, no, at least not pre-emptively.
Thanks for that. This confirms my suspicion. I remember individually blocking so many donations when on Win10. Its impossible tip keep up with them all. I had a feeling that many of these domains just keep getting regard with new addresses every few days. Really frustrating.
