The code that displays the password prompt and unlocks the disk could be replaced by a modified copy as it isn't encrypted. TPM would protect against that though.

There are plenty of excellent open source fonts with full glyph support and perfect kerning etc. But many are overused. If you use something like Raleway or other popular fonts, visitors will have a subconscious sense of familiarity and ass

Some features are only in the paid version which is fair enough, but when I tried it a few months ago there was a small but permanently visible message on the app reminding me this was the free version. That was annoying.

Both android and iOS natively let you set a custom DNS server and there are several that include adblocking (or you can host your own). It's not as good as application level blocking but it's quite effective. I recommend NextDNS a
