Mornin' Been wondering if I should install GOS on my Pixel8 or keep my present setup with TC. I'm not conversant with the mechanics behind TC but it feels right to me. I don't use Google Apps and have been on F-Droid more often then Google Play. I do have a few apps which require net access hence using TC.

What say you..?

I've been on GrapheneOS for almost 4 years now, absolutely no regrets, even on my mental health.

I've been using tracker control (with my custom host list uploaded) along with GOS. It's perfectly good at blocking trackers, and I can have full control with it on apps (system/3rd party apps).

Why would you use it with GOS..?

By default, GOS don't block trackers. You have to use TC to do it.

Does tracker control has support for host files

For me, Rethinkdns Firewall + Nextdns and Adguard android is the only 2 good options. All others feels like uneffective solutions.

I don't know...you'd have to read the docs.
