/e/ & 2021: the year everything is going to change (2/2) — A product roadmap

@eDevelopersBlog

For one year we’ve been working on an application codename “Privacy central” . Its goal is to show what the hidden trackers in apps collect and give the option to block those trackers from collecting your data. It is going to be integrated into the system settings by default. We’re looking to make this app very intuitive to use, and there will be some extra cool features in it. Stay tuned!

Very excited for this, especially as I have seen something similar extended elsewhere. Hoping this comes sooner than later . Also hoping it is 100% open source as other solution is not. Yep…it will be open source according to Gael.

Edit: better add this…this is BIG!

@marcdw this is it I believe👆, tracker blocking build directly into the system (no root needed), leaving the VPN stot open. I missed it till just recently👇

Tracker Control vs VPN : how to choose?

That is in an interesting discussion. I’ve been thinking along those lines, if I can somehow chain TC with shadowsocks or some other VPN/util that implements/has proxy support built in. My return to TC with InviZible was short-lived and I went back to shadowsocks/InviZible combo. Finding the right setup on an unrooted device takes some work. You’ve been doing a lot of research on this so I’ve been paying close attention.
