Question for everyone: What do you use to limit the tracking of "forced" apps?
- The train company sends my data to Tiktok (ticket needs to be shown in-app)
- Signal to Google
- TooGoodToGo to data brokers (can't order leftover food via their website anymore)
- etc.
How to block this?
I'm hoping for a better alternative to TrackerControl since it's buggy (legit connections hang often) and makes that I can't ever use a VPN under any circumstance, but I'm at a loss for other options
