@AAMfP Just look at the source code 🤡

🙄😅 as if I could understand it...
But it might be a starting point.

@AAMfP @fdroidorg You can use popular LLMs and ask it to elaborate what a file does, or what particular set of lines do. I've found some of the popular LLMs pre-bundled with GitHub Copilot (available for free if you're logged in) to be pretty good with code reasoning. Tap on the "Copilot" icon shown in the header of the GitHub repository you want to examine and try asking it questions about code.

Thanks, nice idea.
I can suppose they both work in a similar way: TrackerControl is filtering requests based on a list then passing by to InviZible Pro for the DNS part (I had disabled system private DNS or TC complains).
ReThinkDNS has the same concepts but within a single app.

So, having the same blocking lists, do they have the same blocking and privacy effect?
