If I understand correctly, Google is unlikely to be contacted under normal operation of NetGuard.

This PR tries to reduce connections to Google further, for privacy reasons.

I loled in real life, the f-droid.org is slow even when working, let's not use it as a beacon for anything really :)

Also, why would you fallback to CF of all things? Didn't it fall last month taking down 30% of the internet with it, c'mon.

Let's decentralize more... not less.

Thank you for the prompt feedback. I completely agree with your criticism but don't think that's the point.

It's solely about considering alternatives to Google services, but thoroughly accept that you have a different view on this.

This pull request would change the defaults of existing settings only, so everybody already has the liberty to configure things differently.
