A number of problems/shortcommings with that approach:
Not all processes connecting to the internet are listed in the list of applications. Not even half of the processes can be blocked that way. Give Netguard an try and look at the connection notifications you get. You’ll be surprised by the amount of system processes spilling your information to internet without you knowing/asking/allowing.
You can’t block wifi connections, only limit data connections (at least on my Marshmellow device)
you can’t block connections to domains. With Netguard you can say it’s OK to use data, but you block the data slurping privacy violations
You’ll be saving a lot on data/wifi traffic by blocking those hosts, consuming less bandwidth and improving your privacy and security.
It does consume some battery power, obviously, as it acts as an always on VPN.
Sorry to be this guy but is there a new ETA for the beta (or any first version including the /e/ app store) ? I think the first delivery was supposed to be in March, but then we didn’t heard a lot from it (reason for delay, blocking point or a change in development focus ?) or I missed something.
Maybe the development is now focused on expanding the hardware support in order to be able to target as much people as possible from the start ? it wouldn’t be a bad decision but it’d be great to know a bit more
I would like a stt (speech-to-text) keyboard, something like one of these below, but anything that works throughout the whole system would be really good =)
BUT, especially, it must work OFFLINE with a downloaded language pack with no need to send my words to centeral to translate into text
