#TrackerControl APP TRACKING PROTECTION

Allows users to monitor & control the widespread, ongoing, hidden data collection in apps about user behaviour ('tracking') - https://f-droid.org/packages/net.kollnig.missioncontrol.fdroid/

I prefer this app over DDG's built-in protection as you can control which apps & services to block & uses less system resources (RAM & battery use) in the process. This even let's you block & control googles system services when set up to do so.

So @naomibrockwell blew my mind about how are smart TVs are spying on us with Automatic Content Recognition and other advertising profile scripts. Yikes! Thanks for the heads up!

I don’t have the resources to switch to a more secure streaming device yet (I’m gonna build one with mini PC running LibreELEC with Kodi hopefully).

In the meantime, I setup a Pi-Hole on an old Raspberry Pi 3B I had laying around last night to block as many ads and outgoing unwanted scripts as I could.

It is working great from what I tell! Even removed the ads from my Roku TV home pages lol! I’m sure some stuff is getting through, but at least it’s minimal.

Here is the PiHole install video I watched from Micro Center, but I also added SSH via private/public keys too. How to Block Ads Using a Pi-Hole With A Raspberry Pi

Oh and it has a built-in Star Trek NG LCARS theme!
