TrackerControl
Global Block Lists
Hello,
i was thinking the last days about a feature. This feature can apply a List of block records to each App and the OS itself, so no need to config each App with these records. This feature can also be improved with a function inside the appBlockUI where I can send/remove records to the global list.
You mean sharing of those configurations between devices, or sharing of your configuration across different apps?
I think, ideally, the classification of "essential" tracking should become better, but I sadly do not have time to look into this. It's extremely extensive work.
No, I mean it more like this. A black/white list that is applied to all apps. For example, blacklisted Google => All apps now block Google requests.
Since long pressing in the App Request Block UI on entries has no function, yet one could introduce a Popup there. This function would have the possibility to.
- Block this entry for all apps. (add to Blacklist)
- Remove from blacklist (grayed out if not on blacklist)
- Unblock this entry for all apps (add to whitelist).
- Remove from Whitelist (grayed out if not on whitelist)
I think this would be a good idea. For example the app doesn't block youtube ads hosted on domains of the form r*---sn-********.googlevideo.com. There are lists with these domains (example) and I was asking myself if it was possible to add a global text blacklist that could be edited in the settings that blocks the specific domains in the list. This would be similar to the host file settings.
