A cool software for degooglers that makes a little noise every time your computer sends a packet to a tracker or Google service.

EDIT: There is also a Firefox add-on for web browsing.

Is there something like this for android?

There isn't AFAIK, but there is a Firefox add-on that I guess it should work on android at least for web browsing.

That's an hilarious add-on. Like a google Geiger counter. Thanks for sharing it.

Something like this would be cool for ublock origin too, with a sound pinging whenever an ad is blocked; could be fun.
