- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

The e/os Advanced Privacy feature is very nice, great way to see which apps have tracker whilst blocking them. Same as running DNS filters but built in experience, easy to view
In itself LOS is fantastic but needs be combined with something like reThinkDNS or another DNS filtering option
Rethink on LOS is fantastic, in particular if you can do the whitelist method - block everything by default, and permit only that which you approve. Takes some time & effort but great control is the reward
I prefer layers, example LOS w/rethink DNS all going thru Control D or NextDNS with Hagezi lists enabled
Overkill? Perhaps , but I love the reporting , helps in learning what's going on, and apps/sites to be avoided
