So you are asking if this can be done? Some providers have data only Sims like what you get in a hotspot, or you could turn on do not disturb.

Is this a statement, or a question?
How did you happen to find that?
I don’t have any experience with AhaDNS Blitz.
With RethinkDNS I have had occasional failures on their Max resolver, changing to Sky then works. That has only happened two times though, and was fixed with a few hours.
Sorry I can’t be more help.
I really like the block all apps by default. I read release notes, download something, scan with App Manager. If that’s all good then it can connect to the internet.
And I use the Wikipedia app so I can block intake-analytics.wikimedia.org and the app still works.
ControlD is good, I have it setup at work. Their paid plans allow more fine control.
They can also be used to unlock geoblocking both on free and paid plans.
Coworkers need TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter, otherwise I would block that crap too.
Have a look at RethinkDNS, https://docs.rethinkdns.com/dns/ their wiki is pretty good. They have recommended block lists, and also have a feature that let’s you search inside block lists to see what they actually cover.
If you are on Android they have a companion app, you do not need to use it though. The app adds a good firewall (capture and redirect port 53 for example) and detailed logs if you want. You can block domains and specific IP addresses.
It’s all FOSS too
I would guess using something like Insular and using it in a work profile.

There is OpenContacts which has its own database specifically to keep things like WhatsApp out.

Did you look in about:config ? Maybe the flag for Pocket is there but turned off.
I’m on mobile now otherwise I’d check
Their privacy policy says this
5.2. Do Not Track
Zen Browser automatically honors “Do Not Track” requests by default. We ensure that no tracking of your activity occurs, in compliance with this setting
DNT is voluntary, no one respects it, it makes you stand out, and is a known tracking vector.
I just tried it on a Firefox fork on Android. Works fine if you spoof the useragent.
I hate that bs
If you are OK opening things up and can use a soldering iron you could put a physical switch on the microphone.

I very much doubt it’s malware. This is from the same developer as DivestOS, Mull, Mulch, etc.
It’s offline except when you update databases. Nothing in firewall logs except when you update. App Manager scans look clean.
Wired is soft paywall too. Clearing cookies works
Honestly, Searx is better, and you can add ddg as an engine and still maintain your privacy from them.
E often falls behind on patch levels, see the page here https://divestos.org/pages/patch_history
I don’t use Brave, but I did read that post because I am interested in how they are handling this. It’s worth reading for that.
Filens Android app has trackers from Google and Sentry.
They went from no trackers, to Matomo (that was not announced in their change log), then to Google and Sentry.
The one I had in my hotspot did not have a phone number attached. It was provisioned by the IMSI. This plan was cheaper than using my phone as a hotspot. I assumed that there was no phone number so you couldn’t game the system by getting this cheaper deal and popping the Sim into a phone.
