My old ones broke two days ago and I needed new ones. I chose earbuds from NOTHIHG because according to reviews they are really good for the money. Now, their app is asking me to accept this privacy policy. Maybe this policy is just some general place holder for other products because they sell phones too. And they would have browser history there. Or I could use the earbuds without the app. But the default tuning on them is very bass heavy and I need to change that.

I use DNS resolver on my phone with a lot of filters, so this shit will get blocked. I think I will bite the bullet for now but this is probably the last thing I bought from this company.

    That’s a good work around for a fundamental issue with the app, but how reliable is it? I wish there was a blanket method to disable internet connectivity for an app, rather than relying on a firewall (IIRC they’re pretty leaky, and I struggle to maintain anything that’s always-on) or custom DNS server.

        Is this stock Android? I don’t have this option on mine, as far as I can tell. The closest I have is “Allow background data usage”
