How good is Paranoid Android? - eviltoast

I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I’m about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?

    You don’t need anything extra to block internet connections for applications. You can directly block them from the app information itself. I think what you’ve done so far is very good and sufficient for phone internal use. The important part now is the browser section, and I think you can handle that too.

      I am aware of that feature, but I can’t do the same for a few essential system apps that constantly ping chinese IPs for whatever reason.

      As for my browser, I mostly use Tor browser for browsing/reading and Mull for downloading and streaming.

      Am I being too paranoid? lmao

          Wdym by dead on performance? works fine for me.

          And yeah, I feel like I’m nailing my feet just to avoid walking into a trap here lol. I should relax, I’ve minimized a LOT of data collection already.

          Any good browser suggestion you have?
