It's not the privacy that concerns me it's the wasteful use of my data allotment and the risk of inopportune automatic updates. I also disable a bunch of Onyx stuff.

He does cover it a little in the podcast on what he removed with adb

A decent solution is something like adguard (which i run on all android device and windows).

There is blockada which has a limited free version that does something similiar.
