Run a local vpn like netguard! https://netguard.me/ https://netguard.me/ I leave mine on deny by default. That said, I completely agree. Google's approach to permissions on Android has been wildly user-hostile, and full of nonsense bundling like (relatively harmless) device-ID and (very much not) access to all call logs. Stuff like XPrivacy[1] demonstrates how they could have done this with far more user control and far less app interruption, but they haven't. [1]: not the UI, the UI is terrible. but "send fake contacts" or "block outright" for every API is excellent, and doesn't require changing apps to support. the fact that the apps can query the state and I cannot lie about it is a problem, because they often require lots of bullshit that's not required.
