Cater to diverse reasons for debloating - Add tags to filter by Performance/Privacy etc.

[onguarde]

To minimise any impact while debloating, I would like to ONLY disable apps with high resource usage, above a certain threshold. Other apps maybe running in the background, but if it doesn't affect my battery life, I don't think it's worth the risk or to disable. Because if something breaks, I will need to re-enable everything just to be sure.

Ther's many reasons for debloating,

1. Performance - CPU (More concerned about this, since it will affect battery life)
2. Performance - RAM (Doesn't matter that much as long as you have enough ram)
3. Privacy
4. Disable unused apps, that are visible in the app drawer. Avoid clutter.

It would be great, if we can add a dropdown list to filter the above. Maybe a tag makes much more sense so we can filter "Recommended" list + "Performance - CPU" tag.

Counter argument could be that there is a potential for a lot of overlap, and a lot of bloat packages lack adequate information with regards to what it is they actually do; to play devil's advocate tbh. Arguably "Performance" could be one category for simplicity's sake.

@TubbyCat good point.

That is fine if there are no issues after disabling. But frequently we need to re-enable whatever we disabled, because we faced an obscure bug while using the phone. eg. Maybe the internet connection started dropping intermittently, hotspot or vpn is unstable.

This may really not be due to the what we disabled, but we still need to re-enable everything just to be sure as part of the troubleshooting process.

This is why I would prefer not to disable something, unless it has a significant measurable impact. So as to minimise any possible issues. Example, on my grandfather's phone, I would definitely be more conservative in what I'm disabling. On my own phone, I would disable more, optimising for performance.
