For those of us stuck on normal android, is there a way to achieve that? I know it used to work with some firewall apps but nowdays they all require root access.

Not the same thing, but you can install an app like Blokada Libre to block ads and trackers in all apps.

Or you can set your DNS resolver to dns.adguard-dns.com and it blocks almost all ads. You can search "private dns" in Android settings app and set it there.

		This has the disadvantage that you can’t whitelist specific domains, which is something I need pretty often.

It looks like you can't revoke the internet permission, but you can use the firewall via ADB. Settings are lost on reboot, but you can use an automation with Tasker or similar to set them on boot:

Netguard No Root Firewall still works for me: https://github.com/M66B/NetGuard

		+1 for Netguard, it is awesome. A bit clumsy UI, but indispensible.

Go to settings > App > $SCUMMY_APP > Mobile Data & WiFi. Uncheck all.

		Why does Apple not give that Wi-Fi option there? I mean, is there a reason we’d be sympathetic to?
